Takin' Off is the debut album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock released in 1962[7] by Blue Note Records. Featuring veteran tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Butch Warren and drummer Billy Higgins. The album is a creative example of music in the hard bop idiom.[8] The bluesy track "Watermelon Man" made it to the Top 100 of the singles charts,[8] and went on to become a jazz standard. Hancock released a funk arrangement of “Watermelon Man” on his 1973 album Head Hunters. Takin' Off was initially released on CD in 1996 and then again in remastered form in 2007 by Rudy Van Gelder.

Takin’ Off — дебютный альбом джазового пианиста Херби Хэнкока, выпущенный в 1962 году на лейбле Blue Note Records. В записи альбома приняли участие Фредди Хаббард на трубе и Декстер Гордон на тенор-саксофоне. Альбом был хард-боп пластинкой c двумя характерными духовыми партиями и ритм-секцией. Блюзовый сингл «Watermelon Man» попал в Top-100 поп чарта[6] и впоследствии стал джазовым стандартом. Альбом был признан «одним из самых совершенных и потрясающих дебютов в истории джаза»[7].
