One of the greatest artists of the previous century and our current - and likely the one after that. Also beautiful how all these brilliant musicians leave room for each other.

All of the so-called jazz purists who dismissed this at the time were so very wrong (and still are). This music is arguably as strong, as inventive, as complex, and meaningful as any of the previous "straight-ahead" swinging post-Bop or other kinds of jazz thought to be superior. And this conception of Herbie's has withstood the test of time too.

I listened to Herbie Hancock while stationed at Ft. Smith, Washington and then Germany. I'd play it loud in the Barracks and drive some soldiers crazy with it, but, in the end I got them all to enjoy it and respect his talent. I'd Iron my Fatigues & Spit Shine my Boots listening to Herbie Hancock. He kept me going forward......THanks M Hampton

Jazz purists don't understand jazz if they can't respect fusion and funk being in the sound. It broke jazz wide open. Jazz had gotten pretty stale IMO and had to morph into something else, jazz would be truly dead if it never evolved. And who gets to label what jazz is or isn't.

not me i seen this tour

Bill's playing pandeiro during the 1st half of Herbie's (Fender Rhodes) solo, then he switches to conga. A close friend of mine recently met BILL down in New Orleans, LA. He was leading a sacred Yoruban ceremony that got quite intense. They later spoke & he enlightened her on the subjects of music & religion.

So ahead of it’s time

Very cool! BTW: That's the great Bill Summers on Shekere, Congas, and hand percussion. It looks like Mike Clark on drumset and, of course the iconic Paul Jackson on bass. This is one of Funk's early, ground-breaking rhythm sections. Check out Paul's bass part: it's basically built around the 3-2 Son Clavé... and then goes on a Funk journey. Gotta give props to the traditions and the tradition-builders!

that arp solo just blows every thing out of the water

Best Funk Band Ever !!!

It’s very reminiscent of Jimmy Page’s theremin in Whole Lotta Love, though not the same instrument.

Stunning. I so want to know how Herbie got that amazing magic show to work with the synthesizer solo near the end. I can only see three possibilities. 1. Herbie is literally magical 2. Herbie has the synth behaving like a theremin 3. A brilliant and daring piece of theatre. Any of these options my jaw is on the floor.

this is the defenition of funk, I just wanna get up an dance!

If you notice, as keyboardist, Herbie is playing the rhythm and lead at the same time! Both hands on two different keyboards. This is virtuoso playing!

@ianbuxton8332

Yes well it WOULD be virtuoso playing, wouldn't it .. ? .. .. BECAUSE IT'S HERBIE !!! When have u EVER known him to let u down in terms both of sheer harmonic and rhythmic intensity and sheer, climactic excitement? Hardly ever, IRRESPECTIVE of whichever jazz sub-genre he chooses to express his GENIUS in. (There aren't too many of THOSE with each generation, either?!

What a chance to have access to such precious content

"WOW".......I was 12 years old when you did this tune.....Thank you.....HERBIE,still one of my favorites!

amazing first time, I see Herbie's Chamaleon live !

If not for the visionary Sun Ra, this edition of Herbie Hancock's would not even exist.

I can see why he said Gadd though, Traditional gripped playing of this deep deep pocket funk with jazz sensibilities towards variation.

To have the answer to that you only need to what legendary Punk Svengali Malcolm McLaren said when he encountered early hip-hop. "I saw hip-hop as the black version of punk with the biggest difference being that unlike in punk where you didn't need to play an instrument well, with hip-hop you didn't need to play an instrument AT ALL." And that's the whole problem here, with Hip-hop being the main black music these days, it's simply not cool for a young black aspiring musician to pick up a guitar because the use of instruments is something for white guys. Those people apparently have no idea who Chuck Berry is.

Just got to dig around. Don't forget that most "acts" in the 1970s were schlocky no-talent hacks that the music industry was just trying to make a buck off of. Think disco. Think glam rock. Think Kiss. There are always hard core musicians around, pushing envelopes and making magic happen for everyone. Like HH and the Headhunters did throughout the 70s.

Dat Casio watch!

Not Steve Gadd. Do your homework. This is the iconic bad ass Mike Clark.

Check out Actual Proof on Thrust. His work on God Make Me Funky a few years later is some of the most sampled stuff in hip hop. Plus he is a serious JAZZ drummer in NYC. Steve Gadd? Gimme a break.
