Herbie Hancock’s “Headhunters” band was one of the greatest bands ever assembled. Thanks, acman3. I posted that a couple of years ago and as I remember Rok’s comment was about Herbie’s shoes 😊. Absolutely killer ensemble. If one puts his genre-neutral hat on this band becomes every bit as great as any of the great jazz ensembles. Amazingly solid grooves and musical interplay. I’ve posted this before. For me, this record is a masterpiece. The synth sounds can sound a little dated; but, for my tastes, the creativity, ensemble playing and soloing is about as good as it gets. And if this is not jazz “reflecting society” at that time........If anything, check out the interplay between Herbie and drummer Harvie Mason in “Sly” (22:14) during the piano solo at 27:40:
