Head Hunters [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
Keyboardist Herbie Hancock's remarkable career took a surprising turn with this funk album--one of the first jazz albums to be certified gold. Hancock's already-storied career had included an extended tenure with Miles Davis as a member of both the classic quintet of the '60s and the trumpeter's groundbreaking electric dates. As a leader, the pianist had followed a similar course, cutting both outstanding acoustic dates (Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles) and experimental electric sessions (Sextant, Crossings).

Head Hunters, however, was something different: a stripped-down date featuring reedman Bennie Maupin as the only horn player, and a funk-oriented rhythm section made up of Paul Jackson, Harvey Mason, and Bill Summers. Hancock traded in his sophisticated piano performances and complex compositions for simple melodies, slow-burn funk grooves, and light electric keyboard splashes. The results, particularly on the tracks "Chameleon" and "Watermelon Man," had a profound impact on other musicians, although critics charged Hancock with playing to the galleries. But the album has stood the test of time--something neither the wealth of Hancock's imitators nor his own subsequent albums in this vein have been able to do. --Fred Goodman

Awesome fusion classic.......2007-07-16

This is in my Holy Trinity of jazz-fusion albums, along with Miles Davis' In a Silent Way and the Mahavishnu Orchestra's Inner Mounting Flame. And while it's not Hancock's greatest work (Emperyean Isles is), it's still a very recommended album.
The most famous song is the reworking of Watermelon Man, a standard from Hancock's debut (Takin' Off) here radically reworked into a funk song with someone blowing into a beer bottle during the introduction. I think that the Takin' Off version of this song is better. But that's all because it's the original, and 99% of the time the original's gonna be the best. I love this version of the song too - he gives the song a total makeover, as if he were an outsider covering the song. If you're gonna remake the classics, HERE'S how ya do it. Watermelon Man was actually a pretty big radio hit, and was (I think) Herbie's commercial breakthrough.
The other classic composition on this album is the funky Chameleon. Very long song, but very good: lots of tasty solos and a solid bass groove, like everything funky should have. Interestingly, there's no guitar on this album - there's a lot of clavinet, though. So it plays up the "funk" part of fusion and downplays the "rock" element.
Anyway, next comes the lengthy, energetic Sly: again, great song, this one being a tribute to Sly Stone, who you might know for pinoeering the funk genre (or wearing a huge blonde mohawk at the Grammies - years of being a self-exiled drug burnout do funny things to your brain, I suppose). The final song is the slow ballad-ish Vein Melter, which is yet another winner in my book: lots of synthesizers (by Hancock) and ghostly bass clarinet (by Bernie Maupin, who added a lot to those Miles Davis fusion records). Probably the weakest song here, but look at the competition, you know?
Right, so Head Hunters is a must-have album for all fusion fans. Hell, even if you're a funk fan who doesn't own a single jazz album, Head Hunters may still have something to offer you.

Funk Brilliance.......2007-07-12

I love Herbie Hancock's jazz material, so I tend to like the 60s Hancock, the Miles period, his work with VSOP, and some of his more recent material which I feel is a return to form.

Funk is not up there on my favourites, but its not a personal hate either. As far as an example of classic 70s funk jazz then this album has got to be a defining moment, along with Herbie's related work, Thrust.

Not much else to add, I'm sure Funk lovers will give this one a higher rating. Its a fun purchase to have, a little dated to my ear, but an important piece of its time. Many good moments on it to be had, and if you dig funk more than me than this should be a great album for you.

Hard to recommend, yet hard not to either

MR. HANDS TOOK HEADS ON A RIDE WITH THIS!.......2007-04-05

After the lackluster reception he recived from Sextant, Mr. Hands regrouped, formed a new group and recorded this monster of a fusion album. By '73, Herbie was a afterthought. His predecessors failed to meet commercial expectations and his fanbase was dwindling down to the "die hard". "Headhunters" was to Mr. Hands what "Some Girls" was to the Stones in 78' and "Mama Said Knock you Out" was to LL Cool J in 90'. It was a tour de force that restored his commercial success and placed him back in the public conscious.

Headhunters is one of those albums that rose Herbie to legendary status in the jazz world and "Chameleon" is the prime reason to purchase the album. The track is driven by one of the most infectious basslines in r&b history and never lets up as they include some of the trippy sound bites and solos that can be found on Sextant. The only difference this time around is that its more balanced out with the main groove- giving it a universal presence that all music lovers can get into.

There's no need for me to explain the genius behind "Watermelon Man" since there's nothing I can say about that track that hasn't been said before. Unless someone mentioned the fact that the groove been used in countless hip hop songs( comes to show the amount of orginality hip hop producers have. Ha Ha!)

An underrated gem on this album that deserves recognition is "Sly". The groove starts off slow and gradually progresses to this facinating hybrid of a hard "Shaft" like wah wah groove and an africanized precussive back drop substaining the groove. Im my opinion, this is Mr. hands best piano performance on the album as his soloing is every bit as colorful and furious as the groove. Beenie Maupin dish out his sax chops like its nobody's business and comes close to stealing the show from Herbie. "Sly" is pure fire.

The album closes out appropriately with "Vien Melter". It doesn't raise the temperature like the other three tracks, but after the fast and furious funk on "Sly", its a welcome cooldown after the throwdown.

There you have it, Headhunters from the words of another reviewer who love it to death. Don't take my word for it. Put Headhunters in and let it go to your Head!

A Good Concept.......2007-02-24

In the time that this was released, Herbie had struck jazz gold in the release of this landmark album. He took Miles' far out funk stew, dumbed it down, threw in some catchy hooks, and took some great solos to create this 70's masterpiece.

This laid the groundwork for jazz, funk, smooth jazz, jazz pop, and even some rock records to come decades later.

Some of it regresses into Miles' endless riffing Fusion stylings, but when this group finds the pocket, it is DEEP.

A great record and worth the buy.

To The Head Of The Class.......2007-02-02

It was all about Sly Stone.

Herbie Hancock - in a December 1996 essay included in the liner notes to Head Hunters - writes, "I started thinking about Sly Stone and how much I loved his music and how funky 'Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself' is. I was hearing that song over and over again."

From that inspiration from one artist to another came this jazz-funk classic. Clean production, ample room for Bennie Maupin (reeds), Harvey Mason (drums) and Bill Summers (percussion) to stretch their solos, with bassist Paul Jackson pushing the rhythm and Hancock pulling down unique electronic sounds in the Fall 1973 recording sessions that produced this extraordinary album.

Hancock is nothing less than superb on the classic Chameleon and Sly, the band's tribute to Sly Stone. The studio tricks on Chameleon are a special treat. Vein Melter covers a more jazzy terrain, while Watermelon Man produces some hot work from Mason and Summers.

The 1970s brought a revolution of musical vision, with Head Hunters near the top of the pack in busting down the finite walls of sound and delivering infinite possibilities through a new generation of musicians who had jazz in their hearts and funk running through their veins.

Amazing and fine.......2001-11-06

I am very happy to see this recording and hope that it continues to be available.
It is a little known masterwork and a marvelous recording.

There is much to enjoy on many levels, first the story itself speaks to our times.
Then there is the skill and value of the composition itself. I am particularly struck by the coloristic effects and wide range of mood and action. I can hear that Villa Lobos was aware of all types of music, and also could use all the variety in a unified work.

The orchestra is very fine and Fleming is superb in voice and musicianship.
Conductor Alfred Heller brings much love and skill and knowledge to this work.

A hidden masterwork.......2000-06-18

This work originated as a film score by Villa Lobos for the failed "Green Mansions" film of the late 1950's. However very little of the Villa Lobos music actually was heard in that film score. So Villa Lobos reworked his music and what one hear's today is not a film score, but something integrated, warm and wonderful that tells the audio story of the Hudson novel on one level, and also the modern tale of the extinction of species the fires burning in the Amazon basin represents. It is like an opera in the sense that melodies occur and reoccur later on in the work. The episodic nature of the music carries forward the tale in Villa Lobos' unique aural universe. The poems that Dora Vasconsoles wrote and that were integrated with this work reflect the poignancy and joy of life that were a part of the Hudson heroine, Rima's relationship to her Amazonian world. I saw the original film starring Audrey Hepburn and was disappointed but taken by her portrayal of Rima. Soon after, the Forest of the Amazon was issued on the United Artists Label and had Bidu Sayao's singing and I loved that recording. But this present recording with Renee Fleming is a wonder. The Moscow orchestra plays well, and I found that musical details are so much more present in this recent CD. I think this music is one of Villa Lobos' masterpieces and should be more widely heard. Of course, this recording must also be readily available to be heard by a wider audience.
