Chameleon Pt. 2

[MrDERRISSONISRAEL]

It's kind of funky jazz-rock!!!!! owned!!!! great sound

[asquaredjsquared]

When i'm sad i play this song and i'm happy in like 10 seconds :D

[TheBonkersCFC]

I almost shit myself when the song suddenly ended at 10:00, but unshit myself when I saw there was a second part. Literally the scariest few seconds of my life.

[herbepop]

My name's Herbe! <3

[jay55also]

This is jazz,one of the cornerstones of the last out growth of the jazz idiom,Fusion,funk,rock,r&b combines with the fundamentals of jazz theory ......

[guyclark1958]

as i muician since i was a wee tot back in 1966 when i bought this album ithe early 70's it made me get into the good funk jazz. herbie is one of the best

[armadyllah]

Where can I get the full thing mp3?

[lagotaenelojo87]

@armadyllah on taringa!

[willBassforFood]

It's sad how they are advertising the Now 40 on this soulful track, that should be illegal. Funk Should be all over the Forever 40

[doodleguitarist]

The drums are the best thing in the history of the universe!

[doodleguitarist]

part 2 is the good part!

[saxjazz21]

Ashame that almost everybody forget that there is a part 2

[Pastarastaman100]

WOW!!!!

[spurts]

Harvey makes me angry he's so good!!

[vraydio]

Harvey Mason is amazing.

[thomashood252003]

@vraydio You are so right..he's cooking

[Dancrof80s]

[facecheek]

@Dancrof80s so is my dad

[roscoegino]

Youtube needs a 15:45 time limit!

[drumforlife720]

@roscoegino agreeable

[sednezer]

lol, the 160,000+ people who only listened to part 1 should be ashamed

[SimpleHPs]

アナログとCDはバージョンが違うんだな。違うジャムだよ。知ら­なかった。。。何と言う不覚。

[MaxoBrooklyn]

this is the best part of the god damned album. these 5 minutes.

[oliverecords]

@MaxoBrooklyn Right on. I get high on this dope each time I listen to it.

[syxxpaq]

based

[catchmepronto]

Classic Jazz fusion @ its best!!!

[Omni518]

Hancock the Fusion Master!

[guyclark1958]

i use to put this(33 rpm album) on my (turn table) and get (stoned) when i was a wee pup back in the 70"s

[thawhiteflip]

how does this song have a dislike?

[XephSlayer]

@thawhiteflip hancock solo'd for like, 300 bars

[Novaequalsftw]

@XephSlayer and what does that have to do with the dislike

[EgoEchoes]

2;30 is simple is just oh my lordy, its the perfect mesh of sounds. Otherwise known as music. <3

[vraydio]

The drumming is brilliant.

[444Guitarboy]

Honestly, this i way to complex musicially to be considered funk. Sorry, I am a diverse musician and this is my personal opinion.

:(

[12makes4]

my neighboors are like fuck youuuuuuuuuuu

[kaboodlehopper]

chameleon, i swear, is the best funk/swing song in the world

[djrbfm]

@kaboodlehopper

you'd be right.

j.

[Masteratworkable]

I actually remember when my parents had this on 8-track tape! I could never remember the title to this until now. But like his other albums, pure funk, and masterpiece comes to mind to me. Herbie is a legend, and you can see why he continues to churn out serious music! Thanks for the post!

[AlessandroFortarel]

the harmony at the end is absolutely fantastic

[FunkyHonkyCDXX]

I love how it sounds like it ends, but then the drummer's like "Nah man, this shit aint done yet!"

[EndWesternTyranny]

the 40,000+ people who only listened to part 1 should be ashamed

[welovewii4]

@EndWesternTyranny more like 100,000 :(

[sistalinda]

@EndWesternTyranny Their loss.

[drumforlife720]

@EndWesternTyranny haha holy shit in part 1 i made a comment that the people who don't listen to part two should feel ashamed! HAHA

[SoulRune128]

@EndWesternTyranny

The 200,000 people

[nebaioth]

I think it's actually Mike Clark on the drums.

[kels94]

@nebaioth No, It's Harvey Mason - Mike Clark was Herbie's drummer on Thrust - Check out the original "Butterfly" - that's Mike's work.

[Yamah12a]

i have thousands of this album

[BigG6574]

yes the drums are so sick and jazz+funk=pure musical fusion

[roscoegino]

Mason's drums is pure sickery.

[kwadjo9]

yes Herbie is the man fantastic music

[be4tbybl4ck]

oh and its both jazz and funk. herbies favorite attributes of both. its jazz funk.

[be4tbybl4ck]

gettin OFF on those drums i LOVE the headhunters!!!

[happyface4444]

I can see why jazz critics say it's not jazz and they are right. It's Funk and that's awesome!!!

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

@happyface4444 But it's so steeped in improvisation that it ultimately goes back to jazz.

It's not a Miles Davis type of fusion - it's something else entirely. Very ethereal.

[TitaniumWheels]

@JohnFordDanceTroupe Do Funk and Jazz have to be mutually exclusive though? Look at Roy Hargrove; labeled as jazz but is very funky as well.

[MultiGuarddog]

@happyface4444 this is jazz baby no doubt , funky ,but jazz through ,and through . You have heard of Jazz Fusion right . Come on my man .

[KLthebig]

I don´t know what critics do you know but this is jazz: Funk Jazz / Fusion Jazz

[alobosk]

@happyface4444 I call that Jazz Funk.. Later known as Acid Jazz. Incognito is one of the best current exponents. Their first record was called Actually "Jazz Funk"

[Eugen786]

@alobosk Incognito is a great band.

[kville105125]

@happyface4444 I'd say it is as much modal jazz as it is based on a two-chord vamp in Bb Dorian. But very funky too!!! =)

[drumforlife720]

@happyface4444 No man this is funky jazz

[doodleguitarist]

@happyface4444 It's not jazz, it's not funk, it's just awesome!

[robman8855]

@happyface4444 also fuck anyone who tries to tell me what is and isn't jazz
