This is a very cool album, funky stuff!

[sunfast]

It's a great tune. I'd definitely recommend Skeewiff's cover of it too if you haven't heard it

[Loge]

Excellent stuff, but then so is the rest of the Head Hunters material. :D

[mrweirdo]

[Loge]

I don't know if the link above is referring to a different version, but the original one from the Head Hunters album is available on iTunes.

It's a very cool song. I have it on a SACD compilation disc and it sounds amazing.

I wanna be Herbie. He's one cool cat. maiden voyage and eye ofthe hurricane are something else folks as well. Jools Holland is another in Herbie's league although I reckon with a better left hand...! ;)

Cool song! I've played in a band that does this one. The sax player played an alto and tenor sax at the same time. Really fun song to play bass on, too! :cool:

[Alfadoc]

Really fun song to play bass on, too! :cool:

+1! :)
