I like the ultra fat analog sound of the hohner clavinet D6! Great! 
"Clavinet? It sounds like a frog" was a comment of Elvis Presley  in an interview ... he was right


He was also very FAT at that time!  LOL!

Harvey Mason on drums, played on a lot of the great ones from this era, Bob James, George Benson among others. Bill Summers adds a lot on percussion and, like Mason, can be found on a ton of great songs in several genres. They each released a bunch of stuff on their own through the years as well.

Thank You for the info!

I Agree. Me too!
1974 I came in touch with that in a bar sensibly known as "Bebob". It steered my life a bit.

15'22"!  Was it composed for the Burj Khalifa elevator?
So this is where Beck took the inspiration for Cellphone's dead.

Its similar for me, just reminds me of a time and place .... my friends favorite
I was leaning on the duke box in the vault bar Glasgow Scotland which is now not the same place, then it was a mecca of music talent, so this guy whom became my friend Edward Campbell, he told me exactly what he was going to play and asked me to listen i may feel something, in the future we would tour Mexico and Guatemala, this song is a reminder of a memory and a time in my life.

Ya beats are sick. This was just what my consciousness needed. Thx RP again !!
who was the drummer?
Hearing some flavors of early Randy Roos.
I came to Herbie Hancock through Rockit back in the 80s, which I loved for its scratchy funk dance beats. Needless to say it took me a while to warm up to his earlier work, but this I quite like.
