The band (like Weather Report and Return to Forever) was a prime exponent of post-Miles Davis electric jazz. Now, two decades after the fact, the original Headhunters are back. While Hancock is only a \"special guest\" on this recording, saxophonist Bennie Maupin, percussionist Bill Summers, bassist Paul Jackson, and drummer Mike Clark keep their jazz-fusion flame burning brightly. Besides one contemporary rap tune and two soulful vocals by N'Dea Davenport, this music displays much of the band's original excitement and experimental nature. With veteran pianist Billy Childs subbing for Hancock on half the tunes, The Headhunters still achieve a consistent and creative sound. --Mitch Myers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReview\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePicking up the ball they dropped [in the '70s] the Headhunters pitch ten off-speed breaking balls of funkdafied jazz heat.
