| | Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com |
 | | Head Hunters [+] was a pivotal point in Herbie Hancock [+]'s career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. |
 | | It had all of the sensibilities of jazz, particularly in the way it wound off into long improvisations, but its rhythms were firmly planted in funk, soul, and RandB, giving it a mass appeal that made it the biggest-selling jazz album of all time (a record which was later broken). |
 | | Jazz purists, of course, decried the experiments at the time, but Head Hunters [+] still sounds fresh and vital two decades after its initial release, and its genre-bending proved vastly influential on not only jazz, but funk, soul, and hip-hop. |
