Herbie Hancock - 1984 - Sound System (2013 HDtracks) (FLAC@96khz24bit]  Herbie Hancock  Wikipedia: Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor. Starting his career with Donald Byrd, he shortly thereafter joined the Miles Davis Quintet where Hancock helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the post-bop sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers and funk music. Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Hancock's best-known compositions include "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man" (later performed by dozens of musicians, including bandleader Mongo Santamaría), "Maiden Voyage", "Chameleon", and the singles "I Thought It Was You" and "Rockit". His 2007 tribute album River: The Joni Letters won the 2008 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, only the second jazz album ever to win the award, after Getz/Gilberto in 1965.

The second of the three Rockit band albums, Sound-System was another smash for Herbie Hancock. Winning his second Grammy award for Best R&B Performance (his second-straight award), this album tried to capture the success of the previous Future Shock, with some more twists and turns. "Junku" for instance, featured Foday Musa Suso and also was written for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. It served as the "Field" theme. It also was used during Hancock's appearance on the long-running NBC Saturday Night Live. "Sound System" sounded like "Junku" in many ways, while "Karabali" featured Wayne Shorter (playing a lyricon, instead of a traditional saxophone) and went back to the days of Hancock's African themed Mwandishi band. AllMusic Review by Richard S. Ginell: In the grand tradition of sequels, Sound-System picks up from where Future Shock left off -- if anything, even louder and more bleakly industrial than before (indeed, "Hardrock" is "Rockit" with a heavier rock edge). Yet Hancock's experiments with techno-pop were leading him in the general direction of Africa, explicitly so with the addition of the Gambian multi-instrumentalist Foday Musa Suso on half of the tracks. "Junku," written for the 1984 Olympic Games with Suso's electrified kora in the lead, is the transition track that stands halfway between "Rockit" and Hancock's mid-'80s Afro-jazz fusions. Also, "Karabali" features an old cohort, the squealing Wayne Shorter on soprano sax. Despite succumbing a bit to the overwhelming demand for more "Rockits," Hancock's electric music still retained its adventurous edge.  01 - Hardrock - 6:12 02 - Metal Beat - 4:56 03 - Karabali - 5:16 04 - Junku - 5:31 05 - People Are Changing - 6:05 06 - Sound System - 5:55 Reissue Bonus Track: 07 - Metal Beat (Extended Version) - 6:45 Personnel: Herbie Hancock: piano, synthesizer, keyboards Bill Laswell: electric bass, drum programming, tapes D.S.T.: turntables, "FX" Nicky Skopelitis: guitar, electric drums Henry Kaiser: guitar Bernard Fowler: vocals, vocal arrangements Wayne Shorter: lyricon Toshinori Kondo: trumpet Anton Fier: drums, percussion Daniel Poncé: percussion Foday Musa Suso: percussion, guitar, various instruments Aïyb Dieng: percussion Hamid Drake: cymbals Will Alexander: Fairlight programming Rob Stevens: programming    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Related Torrents
