In 1963, Miles Davis invited Hancock to join the Miles Davis Quintet. During his five years with Davis, Herbie recorded many classics with the jazz legend including ESP, Nefertiti and Sorcerer, and later on he made appearances on Davis' ground-breaking \u003ci\u003eIn a Silent Way\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBitches Brew\u003c\/i\u003e. Hancock's own solo career blossomed on Blue Note, with classic albums including \u003ci\u003eMaiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpeak Like a Child\u003c\/i\u003e. After leaving Davis' fold, Herbie put together a new band called The Headhunters and, in 1973 in San Francisco, recorded \u003ci\u003eHead Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eHead Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e became not only Hancock's best-selling album, but also the second highest selling jazz album of all time (at last RIAA count). It was in 1973 that he gathered a new band to combine electric music with funk, perhaps best exemplified in the pop music of Sly Stone. Hancock took over all synthesizer duties, along with Fender Rhodes and clavinet and was backed by bass and drums. The opening bars of \"\u003ci\u003eWatermelon Man\u003c\/i\u003e\" with Bill Summers blowing into a beer bottle, along with the band's funky grooves and new electric sounds, captured the crossover fans who had otherwise avoided buying jazz records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50460829548875,"sku":"1124401","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50460829155659,"sku":"1119638","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/95d4118f-c6c8-4f7b-a3e3-32decf7accc1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727238896","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/head-hunters-analogue-productions-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
