The Headhunters – Stunt Man (CD)
Product Details
Herbie Hancock's 1973 *Head Hunters* album didn't just change jazz, it rewired the whole conversation between funk and improvisation, and Bill Summers and Mike Clark were the engine room that made it happen. Half a century later, those two are still at it, which tells you everything about what the Headhunters have always been: not a nostalgia act, but a living, breathing rhythm organism that keeps finding new ways to make a room move.
Recorded at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, the new studio album from The Headhunters features seven songs spanning the genre-bending repertoire of the 50 year old ensemble co-led by original members Bill Summers on percussion and Mike Clark on drums. The original and unique musical partnership between Summer and Clark who recorded on Herbie Hancock's seminal albums Head Hunters, Thrust, Flood and Man Child before embarking on a blockbuster five decade career has stood the test of time and has honed a quintet of epic proportions featuring Donald Harrison on sax, Kyle Roussel on keys and Chris Severin on bass.
