Jazz Mafia is presenting an ambitious tribute to one of jazz’s most iconic contributors. We will perform Herbie’s “Thrust” and “Head Hunters” in their entirety. Both albums were recorded in San Francisco, with “Head Hunters” in 1973 and “Thrust” in 1974, and are definitive Jazz-Funk masterpieces that have influenced generations of musicians.

“Thrust” is celebrated for its fusion of jazz complexity with funk grooves and heavy backbeats, while “Head Hunters” revolutionized jazz fusion with its innovative sound. These albums have profoundly impacted the careers of the musicians involved and are beloved by Herbie’s audiences. If any crew can pull off this celebration of Herbie Hancock’s legacy, it’s this one. Join us for an evening of vibrant and innovative music that honors the 50th anniversary of both “Thrust” and “Head Hunters,” and celebrates the enduring legacy of Herbie Hancock.
