Not only did he use a beer bottle as an instrument, he literally tuned the pitch of the bottle to the song by sipping the right amount out of it! Crazy
One of the things I really appreciate about Herbie Hancock is that he always allows all of the other musicians to be featured, it never feels like it's really led by one person, it always feels like every musician plays their own role and is equally important
Bill Summers is Awesome Master Percussionist , my instructor yrs ago in Berkeley Ca , invited Me to play bottle on the original Watermelon Man on the Headhunters album in 1972 !!!!
I have been listening and listening and re listening to this for decades and there is always something new. I love this lineup. I sing each note and adore the rhythms
I met these dudes thru the Nicherin Shoshu Buddhist followers Spent some valuable time with them B Maupin specifically here in Vancouver & LA Zappa Crappa studios 1975/78 & Jacco Pastorus RIP nmhrk 2024 still practicing Herbie
Not to mention Bennie's inimitable, haunting, mid-eastern quality he always brings to woodwinds--his soprano, baritone horn or bass clarinet always make me visualize pyrimids with saucers circling ready to pick someone up and transport them to Mt. Sumeru leaving a trail of pink, silver, and light blue fairy dust behind.
Got to give credit where due. Not the easiest piece in the world. Must have listened to this piece a few hundred times since it was first sold. Good job, giys
Actually the second incarnation: Harvey Mason was on drums in the first album, but almost never toured, and Mike took over before the second album and stayed.
People think jazz is uptight and all (which is not historically the case - it's always been fun) but no, jazz musicians can be way more entertaining to see live than most pop and rock artists. This is proof.
Bennie absolutely soars and Paul provides the stickiest, dankest glue. Herbie Crawls in there, spends a good amount of time holding back and then blows the roof off.
I've been an artist since I was 3 cool thinking about art. You don't own it, pass it to somebody. That knows how to mix it goes back to you goes back to them

It helps that they're all awesome musicians.
He was a sideman before being a band leader
Herbie had the best mentor possible back in early days ;)
Should have given Summers an arranging credit
Yeeees!
For years I’ve always wondered what instrument was used in the introduction of this song a damn Heineken beer bottle. I’m smiling from ear to ear
I can do that, hold my beer. Oh wait no actually I need it back.

Amazing
That was you? Those bottles were awesome, the intro morphing into that funky groove effected me deeply. That album is amazing.
Was listening some times that version
If I ever perform this version of this song with a full band, I will feel eternally fulfilled as a musician.
Till it's over, then you will drift back into restlessness or ennui.
Rest in Power and Peace Paul Jackson , one of The Baddest Bassist ever , and my friend , always Big Props !!!!!
a delight your friend, great concerts already in heaven. R.I.P.
The original Headhunters! What a great version this is!
This is one of the greatest things EVER. So much cool. So much groove. So much STANK.
This needs millions of views.

Now I finally learned how they made that sound at the intro of this classic! Thanks for posting this.

I ❤this piece... I was in 7th grade music 🎵🎶 class when I heard it. 1989.

Saw HH and the Headhunters at UCSB in 1975. Unforgettable!
fantastic concert, a great Maestro!!!
Such a cool song I learn something every time I listen to it
I saw this tour in seattle. Great memory
That drum groove is absolutely nasty 🔥
Literally gave me chills
The original band!
Mike Clark is one the of the kings of groove on drums. Amazing performance.
Actually the second incarnation: Harvey Mason was on drums in the first album, but almost never toured, and Mike took over before the second album and stayed.
@@familytreemusicyou are correct, but I think Mike is even better. Him and Paul Jackson were roommates in Oakland and PJ got Mike the gig
So, I finally know the song behind local on the 8’s after all these years. I am so thankful YT randomly took me to this video!
Digging down deep to where it all began!
Fantastically done awesome
Respect a lot
You are watching the masters at work....tight and smooth
H.H. always play with the Best and the Best
Thanks so much for posting this, didn't know I needed it so badly

Truly Masterful
Para mi la mejor etapa de Hancock, los Headhunters llevaron el funk a otro nivel, cambiaron las reglas.
They're jammin'❣
I love you Herbie ! Truly a legend
I love !!!
Bennie Mauphin again proving best saxophone player ever!
Paul Jackson!!! Bass
I always try to play on wine bottle , when my parents are sleeping
Paul is my favorite bass player !!
Real love
This is Jazz fusion.🎉
Bennie absolutely soars and Paul provides the stickiest, dankest glue. Herbie Crawls in there, spends a good amount of time holding back and then blows the roof off.
