Translucent Purple. 180 Gram Vinyl. Individually Numbered. Limited to 1000 copies. Catalog Number: MOVLP2187 Color: Purple Format: LP UPC: 8719262036727 Fat Albert Rotunda is the venture into jazz-funk by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. The record is centered around the music Hancock wrote 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 like Fat Mama and modern jazz-oriented tunes like Tell Me A Bedtime Story. The sextet which is backing Hancock consists of some of the most prominent musicians of that time, like Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Johnny Coles on trumpet and Buster Williams on the bass.
