The Story Behind: Herbie Hancock - Headhunters, Ep 164
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Herbie Hancock had hits, a solo career, and the best possible jazz pedigree as a sideman but he still wanted more. His evolution led to the formation of the HeadHunters band and a deeper connection to the funk genre. The boys talk about drummers who keep it interesting, bass players who miss the chance to play iconic bass lines, and cracking open the Fender Rhodes to make it better.
