"Headless Hawk"—a premier jazz-focused collectors' label—has joined the "Necromancer" label, which specializes in reissuing rare titles from niche, fan-produced labels using official master recordings. These rare releases are now available again at an accessible price point, featuring new reissue branding and updated back-cover artwork.

This live recording captures Herbie Hancock, who remains as energetic and active in concert as ever. Please note that as this is an audience recording—and not of audiophile quality—it is not recommended for those new to collecting live bootlegs. Hancock frequently collaborates with younger musicians, ensuring a compelling lineup for every performance; here, he is joined on saxophone by Chris Potter, arguably one of the finest talents to emerge from the new generation. The rhythm section features the reliable, long-time collaborator Dave Holland on bass, and the masterful Vinnie Colaiuta—known for his work with Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, and Sting—on drums. While Hancock also performs acoustic sets, this recording focuses primarily on an electric-oriented repertoire, reminiscent of his 1970s "Headhunters" era.
