Herbie is a jazz guy.. For him to dive into Electro of the 80's to make one of the greatest jams ever is a great testament to the genre and his talent!!
You said the word: masterpiece. It such is. HH and his band demonstrated they could discover the future with their musical journey. I love the way this is a techno track but still a jazz masterpiece. HH was way beyond his season on this one. Just amazing!!!
Jesus H. that was so mind blowing to see the song performed live...And the way the crowd was dancing to it. that's when Club music was still music played by bands. Expertly done by a Master musician and his group. He learned from the best...Miles D.
Sorry, but this was Tyne Tees studio in Newcastle. How do I know? I was there/ In fact you can see me in the video at 3:10, leaning on the speaker, bottom left!
Chicago, mid-eighties, Limelight bar - had the "dancing legs" circling above the bar. "How absolutely cool," thought I - until I was introduced to GRACE JONES...Laid back and GROOVED on a rainy day!

Changed my life.
Love to hear Herbie light it up at the end!
This man was way ahead of his time ON PLANET EARTH
Herbie Hancock, a man for every season👍🏾
Saw Herbie with steel pulse in the early 80s during the rock it tour ! Great show !
Absolutely amazing...hearing Herbie’s technical fire on the beginning of electronica...mind blowing

Quite rare for a jazzer not to insist on showing off his chops, as they so often do. Hancock has a great sense of restraint and taste.
