Concert | Herbie Hancock's Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, and More

Monday, June 10, 2024, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Free

Herbie Hancock's acclaimed 1973 album Head Hunters revolutionized funk music, and its influence can still be felt more than five decades later. Pique-nique, an arts organization that cultivates artistic expression by honoring the past and nurturing the future of improvised music, presents a reinterpretation of Hancock's landmark album, led by the pianist, composer, and producer Jesse Fischer. This event celebrates the album's enduring legacy on the world of jazz, funk, hip-hop, and Black American music.

This event features an uninterrupted, high-quality playback of the album, followed by a modern-day reinterpretation by world-class musicians, connecting the dots between record culture and live music culture.

Known as a pioneer of jazz up until this point, Hancock's Head Hunters was his first foray into a more powerful sound inspired by James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone. This is Herbie Hancock's take on a pure funk record.

Following a listening to the Head Hunters album, NPR journalist and WRTI radio host Greg Bryant delivers a live liner notes talk, then the band will perform a reimagined version of the album live.

Registration required.
