Product Details

Recorded live in Japan during a pivotal moment in Hancock's career, *Flood* captures the Headhunters-era band at full tilt, translating the dense funk architecture of *Head Hunters* and *Thrust* into something even more explosive in a concert setting. The interplay between Hancock and his sextet, particularly the horn work and percussive layers, reveals how deeply that band could stretch a groove without losing the pocket.


(2-LP set) In the summer of 1975, the Herbie Hancock Sextet made a hugely successful tour of Japan, which made people aware of a 'new' Hancock. The last LP that the keyboard virtuoso had recorded, "Thrust", was already one year old, and the film music for the Charles Bronson classic "Death Wish" was received negatively by his fans. At his concerts in Tokyo, Herbie Hancock reached back to his hits: "Maiden Voyage", "Chameleon", and the famous, soulful "Watermelon Man" made the fans at his concert hall and open-air appearances go wild with enthusiasm.
