Description

This week we are coming down from the upper atmosphere and tethering ourselves closer to the earth with the seminal 1973 Herbie Hancock album, "Headhunters". If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz-funk, this episode is for you! Join us as we try to figure out how many arms Herbie Hancock has (definitely more than two) and reminisce about the good ole days of grocery store CD purchases, marching band "stand tunes", and lifetime warranties from now-defunct music stores. In order to suss this all out, we brought on a very special guest—our friend, trombone extraordinaire and amateur jazz scholar, Dr. Nathan James. Don’t forget to let us know if you’re on #TeamOverdubs!

Be sure to support the artists by purchasing "Head Hunters" on iTunes or wherever you get your music.
