The Headhunters

Future Yard, 75 Argyle Street, Birkenhead CH41 6AB
25/07/24 - 19:00

We are thrilled to welcome The Headhunters to the FY Garden on Thursday 25th July.

The Headhunters, the legendary jazz-funk ensemble co-led by percussionist Bill Summers and drummer Mike Clark with NEA Jazz Master Donald Harrison on alto saxophone, celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary in 2023, having formed around Herbie Hancock’s classic recordings, Head Hunters, in 1973 and Thrust in 1974.

Few bands can boast a history as fortuitous and storied as The Headhunters. What each member brings to the table forged a history that most bands can only dream of. Their blend of jazz with funk and rock would go on to sell over a million albums worldwide, while the band’s legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come, be sampled by hundreds of hip-hop artists throughout the ’80s and ’90s, and influence countless musicians’ playing today.

The band currently consists of Bill Summers (percussion), Mike Clarke (drums), Donald Harrison (saxophone), Kyle Roussel (keys), Chris Severing (bass)
