In Reply to: Music Question... Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters? posted by InSides on April 26, 2007 at 12:34:32:
Isn't he the guy that did Rockit/Future Shock? What's this I keep hearing about some jazz piano catalog of his? ;-)
Follow Ups:
Then I saw him live with Pat Metheny. He can really play. Blew me away.
Jeff TOJI like it. I like it a lot.
...it was Rockit initially that turned me onto Herbie Hancock.I wasn't around when he made Head Hunters anyway. :)
...that no one hear has even HEARD of this guy. what does he play? what has he done in the last 45 years?who has time for these "obscure" artists?
You should check him out if you like jazz or funk. He's an icon in that genre. He started at the age of 20 in the 60's with Donald Byrd, then was a member of the Miles Davis' Quintet. He then blossomed as a jazz group leader with albums on Blue Note, then grew into a world renowned jazz-fun artist. He's constantly re-invented and explored new territory.Here's a quote about what he's doing recently:
"His latest studio project, Possibilities, released in August 2005 is aptly named, as it consists of an even wider-ranging collection of sounds and styles than his previous collaborative works. For Possibilities, Herbie teamed with established artists such as Sting, Annie Lennox, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, Paul Simon and Carlos Santana, as well as serious up-and-comers like Joss Stone and Damien Rice. Also in 2005, Herbie re-staffed his famed Headhunters ensemble with a host of notable names such as guitarists John Mayer and Lionel Loueke, bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, trumpeter Roy Hargrove and percussionist Munyungo Jackson to play a number of concert dates in the summer."
well, whaddya know??? i just checked my shelf and have mono or stereo originals of all his LPs on blue note!!(sorry... my previous post was tongue-in-cheek as i thought it would be pretty obvious that many folks here (me included) think of herbie as one of the most talented jazz/funk musicians.)
But then, I know a lot of things that I used to know. The thing is that knowing things can be frustrating when you don't remember knowing those things, so by forgetting that you know things, you never knew those things in the first place. Or, for that matter, in the second place...wherever that is.It is my goal to make people's minds explode.
****
If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
;-)
It's fun, but it is definitely mind-blowing.
