I like it a little more down and dirty. That was/is my problem with a lot of 70's jazz. A little too sophisticated. A little too Billy Dee Williams.

[GutsyL]

yep....punch him in the face..

[cr0c0d0p0lis1]

to the inquiry regarding other artists of this genre and era:

as one other member answered, start with a search on Chick Corea

then look up Creed Taylor Inc and check the artists he promoted during the 70s.

"be cool"

[maxwellsmarts27]

i think that the reason why so few people listen to music like this is because they have a hard time following rythym during some of the chaotic complex moments in the song. its not basic enough for them. simple people need simple musical patterns. people who are complex and contemplative need something more stimulating.

[dalaipapa2]

This is one of the greatest drum tracks of all time and I wouldn't mind getting stuck in any elevator playing this for the rest of my life

[roscoegino]

always wondered what sly stone thought of this. to be honest i always thought "palm grease" of hh's thrust album best exemplified sly.

[hitchinpink]

I put this song on when I was peaking of acid, it blew our minds

[donnyv78]

Pure Fawking Brilliance!!!

The fact that this songs was posted over 2 years ago and has been viewed so few times is fawking criminal.

[SIRnonsense123321]

Dangggg!. This is BEautiful!

[AlmostEthical]

Harvey Mason's drumming on this track amazes me ... incredibly nimble timings, grooves and accents all over the place.

[RockyG1978]

Elevator music... kiss my ass.

[MrVerncoleman]

this is to me the sickest jazz/fusion cut of ALL TIME!

[creativelife5]

Ummmmm.  I've got nothing to say. I'm stuck. This song is too good to say a damn thing.

[Aztech355]

I love the beginning!

[ELNIEVLA]

[AmeenRaa]

[catphish454]

[laquerhead024]

Drummer is so sick in this tune...

[catphish454]

@laquerhead024 no doubt, Harvey Mason burns the shit out of this tune....dig the polyrythms...

[USpropaganda]

madness

[hospitalcleaner]

holy fuck this is good

[toodeadbroke]

Good details I can give you from this Bay Area native: If you ever find a copy of this classic, give the amazing Producer David Rubison (ghastly underrated) for this project and his partner Fred Catero behind the faders & knobs, as well as Rubison over @ Different Fur and the the top studio, Wally Heider. So glad to be a Bay Area native without a job.... and a car stolen in Napa.

[mx6lover]

When that piano piece shoots off at around 5:30 mark, it all goes BANANAS. I try to keep up, but I can't.

The man is a genius & all his band mates were super awesome as well !!!! So progressive, skillful and great sounding !!!

[NatTurnaMusic]

met this dude at a jazzfest in 2001....Not only his he one of the greatest hes a really cool to be a real genius

[kinstube]

NaS SAMPLED THIS ON "YOU CANT KILL ME" ,FROM THE N ALBUM

[BringDpain]

[wpagan2006]

[hospitalcleaner]

[DisasterRasta]

[InstrumentalMania]

[TheFlex1968]

Check out the licks & the funky drumming by the drummer. would love to know who he is? Herbie Hancock is a genius. all you Jazz & Fusion Dancers i dare you to keep up with this tune & hold out to the end! Flex Groover/Jazz?Fusion Dancer Leeds UK

[Aeradill]

aweseme !!!

[bogeybast]

A friend of mine sent me a song called Bazooka by some cat named Webster, I think. It was cool but I was instantly reminded of Chameleon so I navigated to youtube & sent it to him as proof of how influential the Headhunters were & are. In 1973 I was a junior in high school & my mind was already blown by Hendrix, Cream & Led Zep. But when Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report & Headhunters entered my world, I was so swept away, I still haven't come back. How freaking sweet!

[lilbruddaproductions]

did you just say this album is by a band called headhunters?

[SuperCartiel]

@lilbruddaproductions No, it's Hancock's gig. However, the folks on this Lp did form a band called The Head Hunters. The did two Lps for Prestige records.

[catphish454]

1:37.....oh yeah.....just play that for 45 mins.......grooooooooviy...

[Aztech355]

That part reminds me of paper boy lol but I still love the song 5/5!

[kerschplatt]

Herbie and Chick Corea played with Miles davis on Bitches brew-the seminal fusion lp-real spacey. The band was a who's who of jazz for the next 20 years. Check out miles "on the corner for a more funk groove.

[aarfeld]

"Big Fun" is another favorite of mine from Miles from this period. Going back into the '60s, folks should give a listen to "In A Silent Way" and "Jack Johnson."

[bobbygoesbig]

Jack Johnson came out in 1971 ;)

[Angel81735]

This is TASTY!

[allenlevelle]

Herbie dedicated this composition to Sly Stone. Because he was influenced with Sly's style of music.

[pompousmofo]

its by herbie hancock not sly stone

[ConsumedByDrums]

this song reminds me of the mars volta.

[PsychoticFlows305]

I put this song on yesterday when I was chilling with my friends. One of my friends said this was shitty elevator music that a 5 year old could play. I felt like punching him in the face.

[Bix12]

your "friend" sounds like a true-blue MORON!

[PsychoticFlows305]

couldnt have said it better myself. This song is the work of a musical genius.

[LinxAudio]

...with emphasis on musical genius!

[catphish454]

@PsychoticFlows305 obviously it was a comment from a mainstream music fan....I bet that same person likes American Idol, and Dane Cook....

[iChrisPhilips]

@PsychoticFlows305 I'd be scared shitless if I was in an elevator and the main body of this tune was playing. Absolutely BLAZING Herbie and Harvey Mason killin' it on drums. Awesome.

[sonwamac]

@PsychoticFlows305 Obviously one of your friends knows very little about music....Bring me a five year old who can play drums like Harvey Mason (or horn like Bennie Maupin) and I'll hire him right now

[meowmeowmeow030]

@PsychoticFlows305 I think your gonna have enough thumbs up with this comment to, go back and lay one on him

[colton422]

@PsychoticFlows305 yo bro, I know it has been over a year that your idiot, no talent, close minded friend disregarded some amazing jazz fusion...... but just since he is so foolish to say a 5 year old could produce this type of musical explosion and amazing jazz funk, I think you should go find him now and PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE anyway. love the Clav on this track.

[Dynamo883]

@PsychoticFlows305 yes , this is elevator music... im sorry...



[drumerdude4321]

@Dynamo883 This can't be elevator music. No one would ever want to leave the elevators.

[Dynamo883]

@drumerdude4321 but i like it even any one calls this elevator music, this was one of the first music i listend when i was still young and mature

[RATMfan92]

@PsychoticFlows305 Hell yeah man! That would be right for him ;)

And a 5 year old could play??? LOL

All musicians on this masterpiece are TOP musicians of the world!

[l3ardoc]

@RATMfan92

Jazz is like one of those genres that you actually need skill to ever succeed in. That's probably why it's still good.

[hunterjackkelly1]

@PsychoticFlows305 i hate when my dumb fuck friends do that they want to listen to little wayne and shit

[Lyddonick]

@PsychoticFlows305

You mean you didn't?!

[dubbsway4life]

@PsychoticFlows305 That would have been my friend he would have became a foe that very moment.I can understand the feelin' of wanting to clock him in his face.For someone to speak such nonsense is quite upsetting.

[drumaxx95]

@PsychoticFlows305 yep. my friends say its shit but they think its shit only because they dont know too much from music and they are listening to the stupid mainstream radios

[daftpunk618]

@PsychoticFlows305 I'D CHOKE HIM AND PUNCH HIS NOSE.

[Rahxn]

@PsychoticFlows305 LOLOL

You should have...and then buried him in a shallow grave so that the badgers could finish him off!!!!!

[firef1yyy]

@PsychoticFlows305 I feel you dude. I even live in Miami, too.

[ittelokin]

@PsychoticFlows305

....look around....... for real' friends :)

[MrJamesdryable]

@PsychoticFlows305 yeah man i feel you, when my friends are over i crank the herbie, stevie, but of sly and the fam, but they jst can't appreciate it.

[CelticKraut]

@PsychoticFlows305 I played the other night and my friend said he thought we were about to rob a bank, haha.

[Joebonekey]

@PsychoticFlows305 And if you ever punch him in the face, don't do a normal punch. Severe violations like this require a much more powerful punishment. The famous Falcon PAWNCH. That's right, flaming falcon punch to the face :).

[AllKindsaGirls]

@PsychoticFlows305 shit i wish they played herbie in elevators! or anywhere with speakers for that matter. grocery stores, waiting rooms. where ever. the world would be a more groovy place.

[destituteillusion]

i'd say this song captures sly stone pretty well. reckless, fun, funky, and a little mysterious.

[62erPrecision]

the short superfunky part from 1:37 to 1:55 is awesome... the rest is godlike...

[DreamStuffed]

yeah man, I just love that part. Since I'm new in this kind of music, could you give me some references among this type?

[62erPrecision]

more of this type? Hancock is one-of-a-kind...

hm.. check out his 'thrust' album, it's more funky.

[MaxPaws]

There are TONS of players who played this type of jazz in the 70's... too many to mention here. But Chick Corea comes to mind... start there, and then look up all the players who were on his albums.

[ctmingusfan]

DreamStuffed, check out the the cd, "Blackbyrd" by Donald Byrd.

[frickinfrak]

man, i love this joint!

[onfireofyourdesire]

unnatural

[progvortex]

Revolutionary

[waisfrancor]

nice song!!!

[countachlew]

this song is so nuts! picture a car chase on mushrooms

[hunterjackkelly1]

@countachlew hahaha o my god dude thank u for that idea!
