Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man (1962)

Classic Mood Experience The best masterpieces ever recorded in the music history.
Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor. Starting his career with Donald Byrd, he shortly thereafter joined the Miles Davis Quintet where Hancock helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the post-bop sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers and funk music. Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences. 🎷🎶 🎷🎶 🎷🎶

Just played this spontaneously in a bar, with a brass ensemble, in the small town where I live, and I feel so happy about it 😌😍🙌🏻

[fumar.official]

i was fortunate to learn about this song learning it for the orchestra, played it as a drummer and I'm so happy about the fact that I was able to enjoy it this way!

[RastaSaiyaman]

This tune always puts me in a good mood.

Herbie was just 22 years old when they cut this. He's with giants here. Dexter Gordon really swinging the blues here and Freddie Hubbard at the top of his game. Not many can turn out a classic at such a tender age.

[YoloJenkins-nf]

I'm a pianist in a small band and we played this piece once and it was so great. Herbie is really an inspiration so if your looking to get into jazz and fusion piano, I suggest you learn some of his songs.

[richardfranke]

Oh my goodness, the coolest of the cool! Haven't heard this for decades but it hasn't lost a note or vibe as the years have rolled by. Love it, and great to hear Herbie's genius!

[MA-naconitor]

No matter where you play this song and in what context, you are still playing history!

[Volantirossearebackintown]

In London Back in the early '80 u would get in any wine bar packed with beautiful lady and listen to wild live bands playing this stuff so after a couple of glass of red red wine sl one would start smiling to each other than everyone would choose his her own and get on the floor to dance and ask the band to play The Otis Redding one "my girl" oh god how lucky I was to be born in the' 63

Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke; Pat Metheney, Markus Miller and some very few other guys are the real essence of Jazz - so much talent, so much dedication, just wonderfull.... :)

[dortesandal]

[uihtwnh]

연습광에 성실하고 음악밖에 모르는 점에 반했습니다. 멋진 뮤지션의 멋진 곡이네요.

[ClaudeMansilla-gx]

Ce theme est une revolution dans le monde du jazz et de la pop mais dans le domaine des musique variétés personne ne connais Mr Herbie Hancock le compositeur.

[izzau_piano]

I love Hancock's songs very much! ❤️ ♫❤️ ♫

Ray Manzarek, de The Doors, se inspiró en esta pieza musical para la introducción de la canción When The music's over, de The Doors.
