Summary:
For pioneering jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, who played in the Miles Davis Quintet in the '60s, 1973's Head Hunters was a massive success and a landmark album in jazz fusion. He led his funky backing group, the Headhunters, with heavy electric synths on a record that outsold even Davis' fusion masterpiece, Bitches Brew. The Headhunters struck out on their own in the years following the album, and while Hancock is not to be heard on this 1975 live recording at San Francisco's Winterland, the group without him still brought the funk in a deep, spacey way.
The lineup here features the musicians that appeared on Hancock's follow-up to Head Hunters, 1974's Thrust, with new drummer, Mike Clark, as well as guitarist DeWayne "Blackbyrd" McKnight, whose guitar-playing would appear on Survival of the Fittest the 1975 Hancock-produced Headhunters LP that features three of this set's four songs. This show, running just under 40 minutes, came shortly after Survival's release. All the elements herein make for a deep space-funk melting of the mind: McKnight, who would also feature on Hancock's Man-Child and Flood releases later that year, contributes lead vocals and lead guitar on opener "If You Got It, You'll Get It," which quickly takes the show into heady, cerebral territory, where much of "Daffy's Dance" resides-fast with funky bass riffs and adventurous saxophone soloing. The one non-album cut is the third, untitled track, which is led by Maupin's saxophone and a simple guitar lick in a mid-tempo jam. Bass player Paul Jackson gives a spoken introduction to closer "God Made Me Funky," which also features his gruff, soulful vocal fronting the cheery strut of the instrumentation.
The Headhunters would go on to record 1977's Straight from the Gate, and later reunited in 1998 with keyboards from both Hancock and Billy Childs on Return of the Headhunters! Jackson and percussionist Bill Summers also featured in a revised Headhunters lineup for 2003's Evolution Revolution. Hancock continues to record and perform, most recently releasing River: The Joni Letters in 2007.
Rest in peace, Paul Jackson. One of the best to ever do it. Don't say God don't answer prayers because God made him funky!
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Dieu est un spectateur comme les autres mais je pense qu'il est séduit par la rhymique que peu d'oreilles peuvent saisir. Ce morceau aurait été super au Madison square garden en attendant le combat de Mohamed Ali...🙏🎸🎸💪
Based my entire music career on this band. 1974 was the year my eyes were opened to what music could be.
One of my favourite and most inspirational bands too... though only discovered them much later
Me too Trevor.......Makes complete sense to me....Nice things......
I've been searching for this for years!
So the Headhunters in 1974...
Undoubtedly the funkiest Jazz band ever!
Paul Jackson was the smoothest Bassist on the planet!!!
RIP, Paul. You will be greatly missed as you were such an influence on SO much music that came forth from the 70s onward.
Seen this funky ass band in the 70 what a show. They turned that sucker out. This when music was the best it ever was. Great post thanks for that. Anyone who does not like this God didn't put any funk in your soul. Funk on

This is groove overload ....did paul Jackson deliberately leave out the lyrics early on? Kinda killed the flow for a min but man alive it flowed later on!!💚🙌🏼
It looks like he was signaling to the sound man to put his vocal mic higher up in the mix. 🎤👍🏾
