Please Note:
Legendary Jazz-Funk-Fusion Band THE HEADHUNTERS, co-led by Bill Summers & Mike Clark, recently celebrated their 50th anniversary as a band! 'The Stunt Man' (2024) the legendary jazz-funk ensemble's latest album received 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 1 million albums worldwide, while the band's legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come. Their impact remains a global phenomenon, and their time with Hancock proved to be a life changing experience. Current Band is Multi-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Percussionist BILL SUMMERS; Multi-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Drummer MIKE CLARK; NEA Jazz Master & GRAMMY® Award Nominated Saxophonist DONALD HARRISON (The Cookers); Renowned Pianist KYLE ROUSSEL (The Preservation Hall Jazz Band); & Bassist CHRIS SEVERIN.

Event Information:
"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').
