In 1973, Herbie Hancock wanted to create something new - something lighter, funkier: something you could dance to.

"There was this need to take some more of the earth and to feel a little more tethered," he's said.Herbie rounded up drummer Harvey Mason, saxophonist Bennie Maupin, percussionist Bill Summers, and bassist Paul Jackson, and he got to work.

The album they made together, Head Hunters, wasn't just one of the best albums of Herbie's career-it's one of the greatest albums of al time, according to Rolling Stone. It was a smash hit, becoming one of the best-selling jazz albums in history.

Now, fifty years later, Herbie reunites with all of the original players from the Head Hunters recording for the first time since 1973: Harvey Mason, Bennie Maupin, and Bill Summers, plus bassist Marcus Miller, who fills in for the late Paul Jackson. Info:

Well, he succeeded ! 🎹❤️🔥 Let’s dance to the sound of the Headhunters, juste like it was 1973. Let’s do the twist, the mashed potato and the chameleon ! 🦎

This part of the soundtrack of my life! I used to cut the corner in the Buick duece and a quarter listening to Herbie and the Headhunters!

Really like hearing this. Bless you all!

I still love Head Hunters -- and Thrust

The GOAT!

I love that album, but I love the followup album "Thrust" even more

Now this is newsworthy!!!!
