Customer Review: About a month ago the tune "Watermelon Man" popped in my head. I didn't recognize the title, however. Thankfully my wife's aunt was there as I hummed the tune (she's about 20 years older than me; I was born in 1970). She identified it and told me it was from Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters." I... more info
Customer Review: On this Compact Disc reissue we got 2 (Two) Bonus Tracks in the form of Alternate Takes of "One Finger Snap" and "Oliloqui Valley". Surprisingly these Alternate Versions sounds better than the originals, but the jewel of this album is "Cantaloupe Island". This track was brought 'Back To Life' when... more info
Customer Review: This music takes patience and attention to get into. First time I heard it, I thought it was too mellow and uneventful.

Customer Review: Why spend 9.99 on the MP3 album or even 7.99 on the disc itself when you can buy all four tunes for .99 each. Someone at Amazon wasn't paaying attention when they set the price for this one.
Customer Review: This is a must have for any jazz collector, as a audiophile I find the original release CK-33812 on Columbia (Sony) CD the best sounding and extremely close to the original vinyl mix. The Columbia Jazz Masters (Remastered) Series would be my next choice. In my opinion Man-Child is the funkiest... more info
Customer Review: As with most great artists during great creative cycles, each Blue Note Herbie Hancock album is an experiment in style. Speak Like A Child mines a dark, orchtrial lyricsism. Hancock uses lots of horns on this album, but the horns go IN to the music, not shout it out. The game here is to listen,... more info
