Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074646498422 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 64984 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: August 18, 1998 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Freshly remastered and reissued with all its pop and zip enhanced, here is one of the stellar recordings of the jazz-rock fusion era. Underpinning this jumping, multirhythmic, fathoms-deep groove music is the percussive power that Herbie Hancock, on squawking, scratching, stuttering, pulsing electronic keyboards, and Paul Jackson on thrumming, wah-wahing bass, add to Mike Clark's straight-up, rock-solid, propulsive drumming. From there, any band member can swoop and dive in celebration of Hancock's vibrant compositions. Bennie Maupin brilliantly deploys several horns in spare, soulful, and otherworldly ways. But listen carefully, too, for the broad palette Hancock employs in lead and comping roles. He augments the streak of Bill Evans melodicism evident in earlier, acoustic years with sustained funk fire and shuddering R&B drive. --Peter Monaghan Album Description: Remastered 1997 reissue of his 1974 Columbia album in adigipak and with the original artwork. Four tracks,including 'Butterfly' and 'Actual Proof'. Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Best Of Herbie"Thrust" is the ultimate statement by the Headhunters, and ranks as Herbie Hancocks best and funkiest album. Highlighted by the bombastic drumming of Mike Clark (who knew a white boy could groove THAT hard) "Palm Grease" features Herbie's now trademark Rhodes and Clavanet. Yet, "Thrust" features a dominating arsenal of ARP synthesizer's that add awe-inspiring textures to all four tunes. Throughout "Palm Grease"'s 10 minutes Herbie and Bennie Maupin shoot fire over Paul Jackson and Mike Clark's endless ...

It is not as experimental as 'Sextant', but it is surely as groovy and laidback as 'Head Hunters.' Rating: - A real funky jazz classic!This album is hittin' neck and neck with the "Headhunters". I just love the song "Butterfly" off of this classic recording. Herbie layed it down once again. This cd is for any real jazz lover to have in their archives. Rating: - Essential AlbumThis album is an essential album for anyone who likes funk, Herbie Hancock, Fusion, or even exciting music in general. Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters", this band, consists of Herbie on keyboards, Bennis Maupin on reeds, bassist Paul Jackcson, drummer Mike Clark, and percussionist Bill Summers. The first track "Palm Grease" starts off with a great drum beat that sounds like it's in some crazy timing buy it's really in 4/4, and it gets better from there. Listen for awesome solos and great percussion by Bill ...

They blew my mind when I first heard them back in the 70's and like all great art they transcend time. They are must have. A nice fit with these two pieces is Headhunters "Survival of the Fittest" |
