This song requires only one word masterpiece

[@carlbowles5421]

Huge cross over hit. People who didn't like jazz liked it.

[@FoxRivers778]

Herbie Hancock was at the forefront of jazz fusion with the electronic sound and this album was a masterpiece example.

[@fridgemagnet]

the fact it only had two chords helped.😀

[@DavidsonMoslak]

Where Miles Davis meets George Clinton

[@CalifornianCuttlefish]

I love the way this song builds up, breaksdown, and then reconstructs itself, it's truly fantastic.

[@Kurrency1911]

It’s a masterpiece

[@mydogslikeboiledeggs7094]

Perfecto!

[@Dr77Funkenstein]

This album opened up the pandoras box of acid jazz and experimental music concepts for me. It's classic and as good today as it was when it was first released

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Agreed ❤❤❤

[@user-gw8us5xy7o]

Bring the acid jazz back😂

[@EvidenceBasedMedsin]

There’s no such thing as Acid Jazz. Just some bs.

[@mydogslikeboiledeggs7094]

​@@EvidenceBasedMedsin You mean, "There's no such thing as Acid Jazz, only Jazz." Hell, acid is Jazz.

[@franknelson4544]

I grew up with this music. The name says it all. Have a great summer fellas.

[@kanasatka1]

I had to go to my kids middle school concert to see the jazz band play this tune. The rest is history. Love every headhunter record.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Good for you

[@edwardvargas52]

I played lead guitar in a cover band in the 70’s. This was one of favorite songs to play.

[@guitarheroplayer-fs5js]

Did you play the whole 15 minutes?

[@user-ck9oy2ig9l]

Ironic, given that Herbie deliberately didn't include a guitarist in this band.

[@slim864gvg6]

I played bass in a jazz trio back in the 90s and this was my favorite! So much fun, especially when you're locked in tight with the drummer, and that groove just begins to move people.🎉

[@ericflater9436]

@@user-ck9oy2ig9l don't hear no lead guitar rhythym either...

[@calebbean1384]

​@@user-ck9oy2ig9lI can't imagine reinterpreting a jazz tune. That would be insane

[@robertstokes1324]

This is real music

[@notgivennotgiven7776]

Man, I haven't heard this in a long time. My brother had this album and we played it loud. Yeah. Peace

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Agreed.

[@user-ky6hl5dn7d]

Excellent 👌👍

[@rodtrues1]

Memories!!! I was in the 10th grade when this came out, we were driving our band director crazy , this was our morning JAM before Mr. Boone would come into the band room, not that he didn’t love jazz, but looking back I think he got annoyed because we weren’t in TUNE,,LOLOLOLOLO, this was my introduction into Jazz, I hadn’t even heard of Bird, Trane, Miles , etc. at that time,.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Good for 😢

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

Without question this tune is part of the true roots of all funk/fusion cuts. I personally played it in youth jazz when I was just 15 years old !

I love the beginning bass,it's just so funky and gives off a good vibe and happy feeling.

[@chelseasorsa5730]

Star wars did it first btw :p XD ^_^

[@gdw3]

⁠@@chelseasorsa5730This album came out in 1973, a full 4 years before SW.

[@Jazz4Lifetime]

As far as I know, the bass is a synthesizer. But for sure it's funky like hell. You just cannot sit still while listening. 😁

Even though this an HH song, and I knew the song long before...first thing that pops into my head when I hear the intro synth...Digital Underground...Underwater Rimes, 1990 (RIP Shock G, 2021)

[@jeshun7071]

A real game changer of an album, a defining moment in Jazz Funk history with the release of this killer sminal album in 1973, which took Herbie Hancock onto another level, one of greatness with Paul Jackson (bass) Harvey Mason (drums) Bill Summers (percussion) as well as Bernie Maupin, a vinyl collectors must have

[@ericnorth6577]

Bennie Maupin

[@johnrowland3105]

Just remember hearing this on late night radio when i was a teen and wondering why chart music was so dreadful when there was artistry like this floating around.

[@hanoc101]

My older brother owned this LP

[@tommouse9215]

Herbie is a genius!

Peace, to the musical prodigy Mr. Herbie Hancock. Your arrangements and the harmonious blending of electronic music with conventional instruments. Set a cerebral experience as the listener emerses their conscious to the frequency of the vibrations of emancipated thought. Peace

[@brandonalvarino4818]

Very very much power. Mucho saborrrrrrrrrr como decimos en Colombia 🎉jejejeje 😂

[@saucerguy3]

Gorgeous composition and excellent players,. I played this in full jazz band brass and the rest accompaniment in High School. It's needing further development to include that and much more. Brilliant, just the best what they did!

[@saucerguy3]

Pick up that horn, one never should think they are past on that element!

[@saucerguy3]

Evette Schafer, circa late 50', early 60's is my horn, they don't make them of this level and lost the formula upon long ago even in the $5k range or horns... That brass in the instrument, the mouthpiece being severely over the top. I am playing that horn to this day for sure my friend, and with soul!

[@RumGod]

Let's make some music!🤙🎶💃🕺 💖💛💚

[@markcollier741]

I first came across this tune when I was 15 years old - oh so very long ago! My mom that it was "occult music" and told me to get it out of the house. So, being the young genius I was at the time, I took the album out on the drive way and tossed it into the air like a frisbee and caught it. I did this several times until a school friend cam by and asked what I was doing. The one second I took my eyes off the album it crashed to the pavement and broke into a million pieces! I couldn't wait to get to Music Land to buy another copy - an no, my mom didn't like it!
