“One of the most innovative groups in history.”

~Philadelphia Inquirer



“This album is a true fusion of Hip Hop, Jazz, Rap, Salsa, Rock, New Orleans, African rhythm and its classical forms. This is the most fun we’ve had making a Headhunter CD and we’re excited to see how the people react to our new album ‘Platinum’.”

~Bill Summers/Mike Clark, project leaders



Founded in 1973, the Headhunters recorded their eponymous debut Head Hunters with Herbie Hancock. The Headhunters, legendary jazz-funk fusion band, immortalized as a result of their long recording and touring stint with jazz giant Herbie Hancock. Hancock’s Head Hunters album was the first to be recorded with the group and has been heralded as the first platinum Jazz/Fusion project in history. The band went on to produce more seminal records on their own, including Survival of the Fittest, which featured the funk anthem ‘God Make Me Funky,’ one of the most sampled jazz/fusion songs in modern music history. The Headhunters’ music is a complex but harmonious blend of many styles and genres, spanning the globe, from Africa to Broadway. The group is acclaimed for its musical pioneering and innovative concepts.
