Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters - Analogue Productions SACD

Hybrid Multichannel SACD — Includes the Original Stereo & Quadraphonic (4.0 Surround) Mixes, Mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound

A defining masterpiece of jazz-funk, Head Hunters (1973) marked a pivotal turn in Herbie Hancock's career, vaulting him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. Drawing heavily on Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield and James Brown, Hancock fused the improvisational sensibilities of jazz with deeply funky, gritty grooves, soloing on electric synthesizers and bringing the instrument to the forefront of the genre. Its mass appeal made it the biggest-selling jazz album of its era, and its genre-bending influence on funk, soul and hip-hop still sounds fresh decades later.
