Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters CD

Hancock already had an acclaimed career before taking a slight detour in the early 70's. "Headhunters", 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.

A true fusion classic.

1. Chameleon
