Product Details

Herbie Hancock's 1973 "Head Hunters" album rewired what jazz-funk could be, and the band that grew from those sessions has spent decades proving that the sound was never a moment but a movement. With Donald Harrison bringing his deep New Orleans lineage into the fold alongside the kora's West African resonance, "Speakers In The House" connects dots across the African diaspora in a way that feels less like a reunion and more like a reckoning.

11 years after their last release, The Headhunters release a new full length album featuring Summers, Clark, NEA Jazz master Donald Harrison, Stephen Gordon, bassist Reggie Washington, and organist Jerry Z. The album also features Scott Roberts and Fode Sissoko on kora. The Headhunters spirit is alive and well on the album, which fuses the band's African and New Orleans influences with their ever-present technical jazz-funk, rooted in music history and growing in the present moment.
