Herbie Hancock – Fat Albert Rotunda (LP Reissue) [Music On Vinyl MOVLP2187]

‘Fat Albert Rotunda’ is Herbie Hancock’s venture into jazz-funk. The record is centred around the music Hancock wrote for the TV special Hey, Hey,Hey, It’s Fat Albert. On ‘Fat Albert Rotunda’, Herbie brings you funky tracks like “Fat Mama” and more modern jazz-oriented tunes like “Tell Me A Bedtime Story”.  Most famously though is the classic “Wiggle Waggle” as used by King Bee for ‘Back By Dope Demand’. The sextet that backs Hancock are some of the most prominent musicians of that time, including Joe Henderson, Johnny Coles, and Buster Williams.

Pressed on 180gm purple vinyl.
