Great Debuts-Herbie Hancock



Quickdraw's requested some Jazz, so here's the first track from Herbie Hancock's 1962 Debut album as a leader, Takin'Off. The album was recorded when HH was 22, and would catch the ear of Miles Davis, whose new band Herbie joined in 1963.

Herbie refashioned Watermelon Man for the Fusion/Funk Magnum Opus "Headhunters"in
1973, one of the highest selling "jazz" LPs of all time. Listen to it here:
