HEADHUNTERS ARE BACK!!
Herbie Hancock's Headhunters Regroups For 4 Dates -
Jazz legend Herbie Hancock has restaffed his famed Headhunters ensemble with a host of notable names and will take the band on the road for four shows this summer. Anchoring the collective on piano, the artist will be joined by guitarists John Mayer and Lionel Loueke, bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, trumpeter Roy Hargrove and percussionist Munyungo Jackson.
Headhunters '05 will play three dates surrounding their June 10 appearance at Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival: June 8 in St. Louis, June 9 in Dayton, Ohio, and June 11 in Memphis. Hancock will serve as Bonnaroo's first "artist in residence" and is expected to perform with a host of acts throughout the festival.

Great news; however the original head hunters band was:
Mike Clark - drums (session drummer Harvey Mason on the first album)
Andy Summers - percussion
Paul Jackson - bass
DeWayne McKnight - guitar
I'm sure this new band will play the old tunes and play them well. I recognize some famous names there, and I'd see them if I could.

I dig the whole row from Head Hunters(73) - Thrust(74) - Man Child(75) - Secrets(76). Very funky fusion! I also have a bootleg from a '74 show in Berlin, they stretch out a bit live. Also, there's a Japan only live album called Flood from about '75, I've heard part of it. Extremely funky!
Together with Miles Davis, Herbie is one of my fave fusion artists. Though I don't really like the term fusion, but we'll deal with that some other day.

HOLY SHIT...
I just bought the remaster cd today (i have it in LP) and this appears....cool
allthough, i wish i lived in the US to see them, and i also prefer the un-guitarred, harvey mason drummed, lineup, but anyway, john mayer (who is a VERY good guitarrist, although he makes some pop songs), and marcus miller cannot be missed...i hope it appears on bootleg!!!!

Didn't think it looked like the original lineup. Still going to be an ACE band, though. Herbie's one of my favourites, the first 'jazz' CD I bought was 'Headhunters', though I prefer 'Thrust' now. 'Sextant' is also very cool...
Lucky, lucky people living in those cities...

I dunno how funky they'll be, held up against the old Headhunters..I mean, Marcus Miller is supposedly a great bassist of our time, but he's no Paul Jackson. Way too much slap bass out of that guy. |
