Herbie turned a forever-ageless 80 earlier this month. He still makes music and plays like this.
“Hang Up Your Hang Ups” is my very favorite track from his funk era, it’s on Man-Child which you should own, along with Thrust, Sextant, and Head Hunters. This stuff is all at back-catologue prices—Thrust is $4.99!!!!!— and is prime choice.
“He gets it! He knows music!”
“George Grella understood exactly.”
