I only very recently discovered Herbie and I've been rather happy with my findings. Head Hunters is a great album, with only four songs, yet each are jam-fests. Chameleon is absolutely wonderful and Sly is a great ride as well. Watermelon Man and Vein Melter are enjoyable as well but drag on a little at points.
Thrust is great as well, though doesn't feel quite like it has quite as much soul in it as Head Hunters. However, I really want to give this a high rating because I adore the song Butterfly. It is definately a song that belongs alongside Chameleon as the best songs in this pair of Hancock albums.
Overall, a great jazz listen.
