Herbie Hancock - Fat Albert Rotunda

180-gram vinyl

Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies on translucent purple vinyl

Fat Albert Rotunda is the venture into jazz-funk by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. The record is centered around the music Hancock wrote for the Fat Albert cartoon show. It's one of the records which appeared in the period between his landmark album Maiden Voyage of 1965 and his 1973 classic Head Hunters.

Fat Albert Rotunda is a unique item in Herbie Hancock's long and diverse catalog, with funky tracks such as "Fat Mama" and modern jazz-oriented tunes such as "Tell Me A Bedtime Story." The sextet which is backing Hancock consists of some of the most prominent musicians of that time, such as Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Johnny Coles on trumpet and Buster Williams on the bass.
