Head Hunters [Remaster] by Herbie Hancock

Pros: Funky, jazzy instrumental fun
Cons: too short

There are many purists who would argue that fusion is not truly jazz or that the music does not have much merit. I suppose they are entitled to their own opinion. I have always held that respect for tradition should not mean being enslaved by said ...

Pros: Great Musicians, Great Music
Cons: What cons?

This was an album that I’d purchased on LP when it first came out in the mid-70’s. I bought this because of it’s great funk rhythms and sound. This heavily electronic album, had layers of powerful rhythms on synthesizers, bass and various percussion...

Pros: Everything about it is positive!
Cons: None

Tracing Hancock's varied career can be compared, quite simply, to a tree. The main trunk being the m ...

Pros: Trendsetting. Influence far beyond its length in minutes.
Cons: A very short album that leaves the listener wanting more.

The jazz on this absolutely funky fusion album was ahead of it's time when originally pressed on vinyl in 1973, and it was an instant turn on for this reviewer, a college freshman at that moment. Though I couldn't possibly have known it then, Herbie ...

Pros: The absolute best funk album
Cons: After this, other Herbie Hancock albums will leave you wanting more.

A wise man once told me "Funk is like sex. When it is bad, it's still good. When it's good, it's really good." I didn't really know what he meant until I heard this album. With it's deceptively simple rhythms, "Head Hunters" is...

Pros: Funky! fun music
Cons: May take some 'traditionalists' by surprise

"Headhunters" was one of those albums that marked a turning point in the world of music, from traditional acoustic jazz to the electrified work of the 70s and 80s. Hancock defied expectations, standards, and recommendations when he released...

Pros: all time classic
Cons: none, except for the fact records like "Thrust" will remain in it's shadow.

This is a mindblowing album, musically, and technically.Herbie's band on this album includes Bennie Maupin, on reeds, Paul Jackson on bass, Harvey Mason, drums,and Bill Summers on percussion. They really tear it up,...

Pros: cheaper than viagra, with fewer side effects
Cons: any other funk will never satisfy you the same

when i first heard "chameleon", the first cut off headhunters, played by a high school football band, i stopped dead in my tracks as the blood rushed to my face and the little hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

Pros: Awesome!
Cons: Nothing!

For those who have never heard Hancock's Chameleon, go buy this cd NOW! One of, if the not the, greatest funk song of all time, Chameleon is a classic. The most distinguishing feature of the song is the classic bass line, which runs for the majority of...

Pros: all-occasion, great sound
Cons: not appreciated

I got lucky with Herbie Hancock. I found it in a bargain bin.
I've had this album for about three years now. Its travel music.
Its chill music. Its all occasion funk-jazz. Herbie plays the kind of all natural funk that flows...
