Here an absolute treasure for you. One of the finest moments in Jazz/Funk/Fusion history with Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters group in 1974 in Bremen, Germany for the “Musikladen” TV Special.

Hancock’s HeadHunters albums ushered in a new era of jazz that appealed to a far wider audience – making jazz listeners out of rhythm and blues fans, and vice versa. Herbie’s philosophy, like Miles Davis, was never to reproduce a studio recording “live”, each performance.
