Few bands can boast such a rich history as The Headhunters. This history began in 1973 when iconic musician Herbie Hancock founded The Headhunters - saxophonist/clarinetist Bennie Maupin, bassist Paul Jackson Jr., drummer Harvey Mason, and percussionist Bill Summers. What each member of The Headhunters brought to the band helped create a timeless legacy and a story that most bands can only dream of. Their fusion of jazz with funk and rock reached millions of fans of these genres. With over a million albums sold, the band's legacy has inspired musicians of every genre for years, was sampled by various rap artists in the 80s and 90s, and continues to influence the playing style of countless musicians to this day.
The influence of The Headhunters remains a global phenomenon, and their collaboration with Hancock proved to be a life-changing experience. The band released six more studio albums, including 'Thrust' in 1974, with new drummer Mike Clark, and from 1975 onwards without Hancock - 'Survival of the Fittest' and 'Straight from the Gate' in 1977.
