The Headhunters | |||
The Headhunters represented a major turning point for Herbie Hancock, whose approach to fusion became slicker and more commercial (though not without substance or integrity) with the formation of this popular band in 1973. Employing saxman/clarinetist Bennie Maupin, bassist Paul Jackson Jr., drummer Harvey Mason and percussionist Bill Summers, Hancock made a point of being more accessible fusing jazz with funk and rock. Their last album "The Return of the Headhunters" released in 1998 reunited the band after a break for more than a decade. |
