Free Music Notes for Head Hunters
Free Music Review: I saw Herbie Perform when this first came out
Hit: 5 Stars
I can only say I was in my mid teens and was taken to the concert with my father and brother at a local University in New Jersey.I will never forget the concert. This was my second concert in my life. (My first was a few years earlier.Sly and the family stone. To this day I still love their music)For this concert, we were in about the 5th row center. Between Herbie Hancock and the other group that I still love Graham Central Station (Ironically formally Larry Graham and many of these members were in Sly and the Family Stone)
When Herbie started playing both watermellon man and chameleon, the place went crazy and all's you could do was nod your head up and down to the grove. Now that is music. I'm ordering the cd right now and let the head start to noddin.
Free Music Review: A Jazz And Funk Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
Better then any other artist in music history, Herbie Hancock brilliantly fuses jazz with funk, making one of the funkiest albums ever made. Equal in funk to the likes of Parliament, Head Hunters is one of Herbie Hancock's greatest achievements. All four of the songs on Head Hunters are brilliant jazz songs with intense funk rhythms, played incredibly by Hancock and band. Chameleon is probably the most impressive song on the album and the most consistantly funky. At almost 16 minutes, Chameleon goes through over four breaks with a great horn section and some really great solos by Hancock. Head Hunters is one of the many albums to come out that has taken jazz in a new direction and it does it brilliantly. Head Hunters is essential to any fans of jazz or funk.Free Music Review: Jazz purist.
Hit: 5 Stars
Jazz Purist.Purist the culprits behind the popular decline of the genre. Jazz, the original dance music of America. I am a jazz musician(tenor sax).Jazz purist the people that have spent careers and countless resources disecting the composition of Byrd,Coltrane and Dizzy I have met many of them.Purist have transformed jazz into classical music(dead).Many musicians have spent countless years studying the masters' compositions and after years sound like a Chinese(cheap)imitation. Headhunters a watershed album that transformed millions of young lisenters to jazz. Herbie Hancock will be remembered for his genius in the idiom. I hope that many new lions and boss tenors will put the purist(plagiarzers)behind and take jazz to new frontiers in the new century.Free Music Review: in my top five favorite LPs EVER
Hit: 5 Stars
Coming from a Rock background, I first heard this LP when my father brought it home back about 1974. My brother and I were in Junior High. All of our friends were into Bobby Sherman...I mean lets be honest....we were the white dude AM radio dork generation. Anyway, this LP changed the course of mine and my little brothers taste in music overnight. We both have this on vinyl and CD and we both still listen to it LOUDLY and at least monthly. Its a must have if you like music that can MOVE you. Completely different, but some of the best "motivating groovy happy" music you can buy would be another Hancock LP called FAT ALBERT ROTUNDA. Talk about groovy feel good instrumentals. We ain't never gonna see another time like that. Herbie, man your NUMBER 1.Free Music Review: John HANCOCK!
Hit: 5 Stars
Impressed I was, very impressed. It's a bit different from your average fusion jazz coz Herbie's not mixing jazz with rock, but funk. That makes for a pretty cool sound. Most of the music on this album would be fun to have as your own personal theme music that would play as you walk, drive, and carry about on your everyday routine. Just like Shaft! I'm kinda snobby, and usually I'm of the opinion that electricity doesn't really belong in jazz(I'm quite a purist about that), but there are exceptions to every rule, and Herbie Hancock is certainly one of those exceptions. Why? Talent and originality of course. Those two things can make any kind of music enjoyable though. Get yourself Headhunters and get DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!
