AMG IDIOT REVIEW: Centered around some soundtrack music that
Hancock wrote for Bill Cosby's Fat Albert cartoon show, this
was Herbie's first full-fledged venture into jazz-funk -- and
his last until Head Hunters -- making it a prophetic release.
At the same time, it was far different in sound from his later
funk ventures, concentrating on a romping, late-'60s-vintage,
R&B-oriented sound with frequent horn riffs and great rhythmic
comping and complex solos from Hancock's Fender-Rhodes
electric piano. The syllables of the titles alone -- "Wiggle
Waggle," "Fat Mama," "Oh! Oh! Here He Comes" -- have a rhythm
and feeling that tell you exactly how this music saunters and
swaggers along -- just like the jolly cartoon character. But
there is more to this record than fatback funk. There is the
haunting, harmonically sophisticated "Tell Me a Bedtime Story"
(which ought to become a jazz standard), and the similarly
relaxed "Jessica." The sextet on hand is a star-studded bunch,
with Joe Henderson in funky and free moods on tenor sax,
Johnny Coles on trumpet, Garnett Brown on trombone, Buster
Williams on bass, and Tootie Heath on drums. Only Williams
would remain in the electric Hancock Sextet to come. Also
trumpeter Joe Newman, saxophonist Joe Farrell, guitarist Eric
Gale, and drummer Bernard Purdie make guest appearances on two
tracks. An engaging, friendly record, it is now available on
CD as part of Mwandishi: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings.
