The Headhunters: The Stunt Man

by Doug Collette
With the half-century anniversaries of Herbie Hancock's work with the Headhunters having passed in roughly the last year--Head Hunters (Columbia, 1973) and Thrust (Columbia, 1974)--it is appropriate the current configuration of the group has continued regular activity. In fact, under the fitting tutelage of drummer Mike Clark and percussionist Bill Summers, the band has issued two ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Alcuni classici della canzone popolare latina costituiscono il nucleo del sesto disco da leader di Claudia Acuña.
