“The band continues to be led and produced by its two Herbie Hancock-era members, percussionist Bill Summers and drummer Mike Clark…The band is tight, the sound is big and the overall effect is unashamed good fun,” says ALL ABOUT JAZZ (2022 Album Review ‘Speakers In The House’). “‘Speakers in the House’ is remarkably masterful, fresh-sounding, and creatively restless. For over nearly 50 years, The Headhunters have continually reinvented themselves. This is no exception,” raves ALLMUSIC (2022 Album Review ‘Speakers In The House’).
Legendary Jazz-Funk-Fusion Band THE HEADHUNTERS, co-led by Bill Summers & Mike Clark have released 'Speakers In The House' (2022) - the legendary jazz-funk ensemble's first new album in 11 years which is getting rave reviews! Few bands can boast a history as fortuitous and storied as The Headhunters. That history began in 1973 when iconic musician Herbie Hancock formed the band. Their blend of jazz with funk and rock would go on to sell over a million albums worldwide, while the band's legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come. The Headhunters impact remains a global phenomenon, and their time with Hancock proved to be a life changing experience.
