Herbie Hancock – Headhunters (CD)
Product Details
Recorded in 1973 with a band that included bassist Paul Jackson, drummer Harvey Mason, percussionist Bill Summers, and saxophonist Bennie Maupin, Headhunters became the best-selling jazz album of its era by throwing out the rulebook and leaning hard into Sly Stone and James Brown territory. The opening track "Chameleon" alone rewired what a generation of musicians thought jazz could be.
The album that shook up both the jazz and rock worlds - and made Herbie Hancock a superstar! In it's original release, this LP proved to be a very important recording that bridged jazz, funk and rock, and was a precursor to techno. Reissue producer Bob Belden has made this new CD sound better than ever and this definitive version also boasts great new liner notes by Herbie Hancock himself.
