In Reply to: Music Question... Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters? posted by InSides on April 26, 2007 at 12:34:32:
Just a matter of taste, but I gave up on him around Headhunters. I like his earlier work with Blue Note and Miles. I also like Fat Albert Rotunda, his initial foray into funk. He is still an amazingly good musician, and I've seen him perform more "traditionally" on recent TV and video.If you only know him from the funk/mechanical music phase, also listen to his "Empyrean Isles", "Speak Like A Child", or his work with Bobby Hutcherson on "Oblique" and "Happenings".
For me it's difficult when a player I love changes style to something I can't get into. George Benson also comes to mind... loved his early real jazz work, up into "White Rabbit", and "The Other Side of Abbey Road". His version of Take Five on "In Concert - Carnegie Hall" is a killer. Now, to me, he's more pop and not very jazzy. Still has nice chops of course.
