The album is a key release in Hancock's career and a defining moment in the genre of jazz fusion. Head Hunters was a pivotal point in Herbie Hancock's career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. Hancock had pushed avant-garde boundaries on his own albums and with Miles Davis, but he had never devoted himself to the groove as he did on Head Hunters. Drawing heavily from Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown, Hancock developed deeply funky, even gritty, rhythms over which he soloed on electric synthesizers, bringing the instrument to the forefront in jazz. Today, we revisit Herbie Hancocks jazz-funk masterpiece, a celebration of all that is modern and ancient. In 1973, Herbie Hancock, a virtuosic jazz dissident, stomped out an entire history of sound when he walked out a bassline on a modular synthesizer. This was not someones upright acoustic bass played with calloused fingers, it was preprogrammed on a circuit board obscured inside a small wooden box, amplified by some hidden electrical process. And it wasnt one bassline crawling out of the speakers, it was two, dubbed on top of each other, split across the stereo field, blasphemed onto what was ostensibly a jazz recording in post-production.

For this album Herbie Hancock only kept Bennie Maupin of his more experimental band Sextant and formed a new Band called The Headhunters to be able to change his style of music to a more commercial approach to jazz fusion and even adding some elements of rock to it even though he decided against the use of guitar completely for this album. This album became a major success selling over a million copies in the USA alone therefore earning it a Platinum awardRIAA and even reaching No. 13 on the Billboard 200.
