The Headhunters lit up Iridium NYC on August 21, 2025, with a fiery performance of Herbie Hancock’s classic “Watermelon Man.” 🎶

Formed in 1973 by Herbie Hancock, the Headhunters changed the face of jazz by blending funk, rock, and African rhythms into a groundbreaking new sound. Their debut album, Head Hunters, remains one of the best-selling jazz records of all time and is a cornerstone of jazz-funk history.

This performance at the legendary Iridium brings that spirit forward with an all-star 2025 lineup:

✨ Bill Summers – percussion (original member from Head Hunters)
🥁 Mike Clark – drums (joined in the Thrust era and the longstanding rhythmic backbone of the band)
🎷 Donald Harrison – alto saxophone (NEA Jazz Master, New Orleans legend)
🎹 Kyle Roussel – keyboards (acclaimed pianist from the Preservation Hall circle)
🎸 Chris Severin – bass (New Orleans virtuoso, bringing depth and groove)

Captured beautifully by photographer and videographer Jim Belmont, this performance proves why the Headhunters’ music still resonates with audiences worldwide. Their mix of deep funk, fearless jazz improvisation, and timeless grooves makes them one of the most influential bands of the past 50 years.

👉 If you love jazz, funk, or live music history, don’t miss this performance — the groove lives on!
