Hancock's already-storied career had included an extended tenure with Miles Davis as a member of both the classic quintet of the '60s and the trumpeter's groundbreaking electric dates. As a leader, the pianist had followed a similar course, cutting both outstanding acoustic dates (Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles) and experimental electric sessions (Sextant, Crossings).\nHead Hunters, however, was something different: a stripped-down date featuring reedman Bennie Maupin as the only horn player, and a funk-oriented rhythm section made up of Paul Jackson, Harvey Mason, and Bill Summers. Hancock traded in his sophisticated piano performances and complex compositions for simple melodies, slow-burn funk grooves, and light electric keyboard splashes. The results, particularly on the tracks \"Chameleon\" and \"Watermelon Man,\" had a profound impact on other musicians, although critics charged Hancock with playing to the galleries. But the album has stood the test of time--something neither the wealth of Hancock's imitators nor his own subsequent albums in this vein have been able to do. --Fred Goodman\n\nProduct Description\n\n.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nHerbie Hancock is the great American jazz pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, and composer.\n\nHerbie Hancock is the great American jazz pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, and composer.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002AGP\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002AGP.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Herbie Hancock\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
