What a shame Bang died before he completed his Vietnam trilogy. This, the first, is the best of the two he did record. I'd rate it amongst my favourite jazz albums recorded since 2000.
I have a mate who is a session musician and has his own studio - we often chat about music. Everytime I see him - without fail - it's "Have you heard Headhunters yet?". One day I'll have to get it.
I seem to remember the recommendation came from a chat about how to 'get' modern jazz. This was the album which started it for him.
One of the great Miles albums, IMHO. Recorded in Paris with French musicians, but Miles plays an absolute blinder. He was in love and enjoying the liberal atmosphere of bohemian Europe.
F***ing weird man. Got in from chopping wood a few minutes ago and I just stuck on Zero7 'when it falls' and logged in to post as such. Must be something in the air. Real Sunday tunes.
Not terribly good. A poor second to their first album. Though I can't find any evidence, I'm sure the DJ is different. He certainly looks different and his music is different.
Watching the US elections on silent with subtitles, listening to this. I love Beth Orton, I have never heard anything by her that doesn't transport me somewhere else,

A stunning album. Performances, recording, the lot. You'd never believe it was Redbook.

Thanks Dave, liking this a lot.
Very pleasant. 'Brown Sugar' especially.

I'm not a huge fan of US hip-hop, or concept albums, but this is genius. Love it.

...With my newly replaced tweeter in the left RR3. What a difference to have it at full level again.though it's slightly spitty at the moment.
Nick Bartsch and then Alice Coltrane.
