Herbie was just 22 years old when they cut this. He's with giants here. Dexter Gordon really swinging the blues here and Freddie Hubbard at the top of his game. Not many can turn out a classic at such a tender age.
Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke; Pat Metheney, Markus Miller and some very few other guys are the real essence of Jazz - so much talent, so much dedication, just wonderfull.... :)
@@ProgAndJazz Of course I know! There are more than 1000, all epoches of Jazz together, I just put the once I personally listened to... friendly regards!
I'm a pianist in a small band and we played this piece once and it was so great. Herbie is really an inspiration so if your looking to get into jazz and fusion piano, I suggest you learn some of his songs.
In London Back in the early '80 u would get in any wine bar packed with beautiful lady and listen to wild live bands playing this stuff so after a couple of glass of red red wine sl one would start smiling to each other than everyone would choose his her own and get on the floor to dance and ask the band to play The Otis Redding one "my girl" oh god how lucky I was to be born in the' 63
i was fortunate to learn about this song learning it for the orchestra, played it as a drummer and I'm so happy about the fact that I was able to enjoy it this way!
Oh my goodness, the coolest of the cool! Haven't heard this for decades but it hasn't lost a note or vibe as the years have rolled by. Love it, and great to hear Herbie's genius!
Ce theme est une revolution dans le monde du jazz et de la pop mais dans le domaine des musique variétés personne ne connais Mr Herbie Hancock le compositeur.
I joined the School’s Big Band late and the first Herbie Hancock tune I had to learn was Chameleon from the Headhunters album, so when I was asked to learn Watermelon Man for a school assembly, I learned the Headhunters version, only to get there on the day of the gig to find it was actually this version! Thankfully I learned it quite fast and it turned out great, but it’s a funny story which brings back fond memories
When I go to Egypt there's always these guys riding around on motorcycles with a trailer filled with watermelons. They're shouting to get people's attention and hopefully make a sale. I can't help but think of this song and if I can start playing it in the background 😜
I have loved this Jazz tune (not song) for many years. I am learning to play the Trumpet, and once I have got used to it. I would like to be able to play this.
Wow...so cool. You can tell it's Dexter in a flash because he so laid back and slightly behind the beat and Freddie sticks to his guns and won't go with him. Love it!
Hey, watermelon man Hey, watermelon man Give me one that rattles when you lug it One that's red and juicy when you pluck it Do you understand, watermelon man? Hey, watermelon man Hey, watermelon man Hot and bothered, need a little cooling When I hear your call I start to drooling Do you understand, watermelon Man?
Manfred Mann did a version of this with Lyrics ( the lyrics above ) in 1964 . i would to know how that came about . i cant find reference to it and realation to Herbie and that band
ok i just found out about jazz vocalist and lyricist who wrote the lyrics . Jon Hendricks .he worte the lyrics to Hancock's composition after the fact . wow never knew that .
Great Jazz! Always a favorite.
Just played this spontaneously in a bar, with a brass ensemble, in the small town where I live, and I feel so happy about it 😌😍🙌🏻
That's fuckin awesome
This tune always puts me in a good mood.
It's the Real Music. That's why.
Me too man, me too!

Never tire of listening to this.

This is tight and smooth at the same time. So good.

And what you'll say about me who was born in 48 and had time to hear all sweet things of the times before 1963 in radio waves? Just nice to remember.
This is music. Great artist.
A jazz masterpiece

No matter where you play this song and in what context, you are still playing history!
Had front row tickets, 20 Years ago, Them feet still groovin' - gotta love Herbie!
Had front row tickets, 2 days ago. He’s still jumping around.
Oh my goodness, the coolest of the cool! Haven't heard this for decades but it hasn't lost a note or vibe as the years have rolled by. Love it, and great to hear Herbie's genius!
We played every night at Dai Nam Night Club in Saigon (1965) Very nice song .
DUONG QUANG Dinh CHARLIE !!!!!!

Back in college days (66 to 69) just about every band booked for a college ball played this number.... it didn't matter what "genre"

Ray Manzarek, de The Doors, se inspiró en esta pieza musical para la introducción de la canción When The music's over, de The Doors.

Arunasva Bhuyan You can start anywhere, but I recommend starting from 0:45; sing the lyrics with the melody of the brass and you’ll get it.
