For his third album, Inventions and Dimensions, Herbie Hancock changed course dramatically. Instead of recording another multifaceted album like My Point of View, he explored a Latin-inflected variation of post-bop with a small quartet. Hancock is the main harmonic focus of the music -- his three colleagues are bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Willie Bobo, and percussionist Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez, who plays conga and bongo. It is true that the music is rhythm-intensive, but that doesn't mean it's dance music. Hancock has created an improvisational atmosphere where the rhythms are fluid and the chords, harmonies, and melodies are unexpected. On every song but one, the melodies and chords were improvised, with Hancock's harmonic ideas arising from the rhythms during the recording. The result is risky, unpredictable music that is intensely cerebral and quite satisfying. Inventions and Dimensions displays his willingness to experiment and illustrates that his playing is reaching new, idiosyncratic heights. Listening to this, the subsequent developments of Miles Davis' invitation to join his quartet and the challenging Empyrean Isles come as no surprise.

Para su tercer álbum, Inventions and Dimensions, Herbie Hancock cambió radicalmente de rumbo. En lugar de grabar otro álbum multifacético como My Point of View, exploró una variante de post-bop de influencia latina con un pequeño cuarteto. Hancock es el principal foco armónico de la música -- sus tres compañeros son el bajista Paul Chambers, el baterista Willie Bobo y el percusionista Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martínez, que toca la conga y el bongó. Es cierto que la música es rítmica, pero eso no significa que sea música de baile. Hancock ha creado una atmósfera de improvisación en la que los ritmos son fluidos y los acordes, armonías y melodías son inesperados. En todas las canciones, excepto en una, las melodías y los acordes fueron improvisados, y las ideas armónicas de Hancock surgieron de los ritmos durante la grabación. El resultado es una música arriesgada e imprevisible, intensamente cerebral y bastante satisfactoria. Inventions and Dimensions muestra su voluntad de experimentar e ilustra que su forma de tocar está alcanzando nuevas cotas de idiosincrasia. Al escuchar esto, no es de extrañar el desarrollo posterior de la invitación de Miles Davis a unirse a su cuarteto y el desafiante Empyrean Isles.
