This isn’t the first jazz-funk/jazz-fusion album but it's definitely one of my favourites. Jazzy, funky and very cool.
Growing up as a trumpet player (I haven’t played at all since college) I always loved this song in #jazz band…and I was lucky enough to see this guy in person while he was alive. Oddly enough, at a high school in New Jersey. #MaynardFerguson #chameleon
The original (as far as I know at least) version on #Headhunters by #HerbieHancock is also tremendous.

The Harmonic and Rhythmic Language of Herbie Hancock's 1970s Fender Rhodes Solos
Herbie Hancock's Fender Rhodes electric piano solos of the 1970s, recorded primarily within the jazz‐funk contexts of his Headhunters band and other projects (on albums such as Head Hunters, Flood, Man‐Child, and others), represent a high‐point of improvisation over groove‐based forms. These solos built on the developments of Hancock's piano work from the 1960s to reach new heights of harmonic and rhythmic sophistication. Predominantly in riff‐driven settings based on a single harmonic area or few chord changes, he masterfully balanced elements of tension and release over this, with elaborate harmonic development and rhythmic modulation juxtaposed against his harmonically and metrically stable backings, drawing on both jazz and funk aesthetics. This article explores these solos from an analytical perspective, aiming to identify specific harmonic and rhythmic devices and shed new light on this period of Hancock's output.

Hey #recruiters or #headhunters or whatever you all have decided is the thing to call you all now. Question for you.
Does sending an email or a #LinkedIn message like "hello, I have an opportunity in telecommunications with a worldwide company, would you like to discuss it?" really work? I know you can't reveal company names and such, but at least tell me up front if it's sales, production, customer service, R&D, marketing, COO, ownership, give me SOMETHING. Please.
@Richard_Littler Miles's health had something to do with it maybe. Also it was not quite #HeadHunters catchy. Many are still coming to terms with it 50 years later. Sometimes I think it was beamed from a different galaxy. #PeteCosey should have become a #GuitarHero. Alas...
