Head Hunters
2009 UK/EU exclusively remastered limited edition 4-track LP pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl.
The all-time classic album first released in 1973, including Chameleon, an updated Watermelon Man and the jazz-dancer’s favourite, Sly!
Head Hunters (1973) was the first offering of Herbie’s new backing band,the Head Hunters. In his own words: “I began to feel that I had been spending so much time exploring the upper atmosphere of music and the more ethereal kind of far-out spacey stuff. Now there was this need to take some more of the earth and to feel a little more tethered; a connection to the earth….I was beginning to feel that we (the sextet) were playing this heavy kind of music, and I was tired of everything being heavy. I wanted to play something lighter.”
This is one of Herbie’s funkiest records and one of the best selling albums in Jazz, due to the fact it appealed to a broad audience – think Hip Hop, Funk, Soul & Jazz Funk fans. With Head Hunters, Hancock claims a stake in Jazz with his infectuous synthesizers and clavinet melodies on top of a supertight groove, augmented by subtile horn soloing. Classic songs such as ‘Chameleon and ‘Watermelon Man’ are living proof of his genius and ability to craft a coherent jazz fusion album. Special mention for drummer Harvey Mason, bassist Paul Jackson and reedist Bernie Maupin (who also contributed to Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew).

HERBIE HANCOCK Sextant (1998 UK/EU remastered 3-track CD, originally released in 1973, featuring Julian Priester, Benny Maupin plus the legendary Dr. Patrick Gleeson on Arp Synthesizers. An album light years ahead of its time and a perfect artefact that not just jazz-rock but all dance and electronic music fans will appreciate. Backed by his Mwandishi group (inspired by Swahili names), Herbie is truly inspired, pushing the boundaries of jazz to the outer limits whilst embracing new technology to full effect. In hindsight it gives all contemporary electronica outfits a run for their money! Standard jewel case with booklet picture sleeve)
