Background

Recording and composition

The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on June 17, 1964. Freddie Hubbard plays cornet rather than his typical trumpet. The four compositions are Hancock originals written over a two-year period.

Six months after recording Empyrean Isles, Herbie, Ron and Tony would record E.S.P. with Miles Davis, the first of six studio albums by Davis's Second Great Quintet.
