The Oslo Jazz Festival celebrates 25 years: Our volunteers recommend music!
Dorothia Gibson Short from the press office recommends Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters":
Herbie Hancock's record "Head Hunters" was my introduction to fusion. Prior to that my knowledge of jazz was limited to swing and the melodic and beautiful sound of Bill Evans. I was around 13 years old when I heard "Head Hunters" for the first time, and I have played this album many times since then. The record is more or less a universal journey in the landscape in which Herbie Hancock toys with elements of jazz, rock and powerful rhythms and takes the listener to unknown places one just has to end up liking. For decades Herbie Hancock has inspired numerous musicians, and "Head Hunters" is no exception. Madonna and 2pac are amongst those who have used samples from this album. "Head Hunters" was an inovative recording in its day and is still an important record today.
