Head Hunters
Herbie Hancock

Solid but light, funky but jazz, with a tight rhythm section who keep it loose. With a mass of contradictions like that, this was one of the hardest to rate - I might have given 2 after the first (distracted) listen, 5 after a couple of (more focussed) plays, but the repetitious nature (and lack of vocals) means after a full day, it dropped just short of full marks. I really liked it though, and have enjoyed learning more about jazz and associated styles
