Dedication is the thirteenth album by American jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. It was recorded in Japan by Hancock alone in 1974 during a Japanese tour. Hancock performs "Maiden Voyage" and "Dolphin Dance" on piano, while "Nobu" and "Cantaloupe Island" were performed on electric keyboards and synthesizers.
First released on LP by the Japanese CBS/Sony in September 21, 1974, it was not released on CD outside Japan until 2013, first as part of a 34 disc box set of Hancock's 1972-1988 Columbia releases, and then in 2014 as an individual reissue by the US Wounded Bird label.
The track "Nobu" is regarded by many (including As One) as the first ever techno track, due to its other-worldly repetitive electronic groove.[2]
