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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002AGP\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B000002AGP.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Herbie Hancock\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49566019387690,"sku":"GGV.B000002AGP.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_3bb3423c-1ed7-406d-ae5a-9f0fd7249ace.jpg?v=1731193469","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/head-hunters","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
