Jazz legend Herbie Hancock has restaffed his famed Headhunters ensemble with a host of notable names and will take the band on the road for four shows this summer. Anchoring the collective on piano, the artist will be joined by guitarists John Mayer and Lionel Loueke, bassist Marcus Miller, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, trumpeter Roy Hargrove and percussionist Munyungo Jackson.
Headhunters ’05 will play three dates surrounding their June 10 appearance at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo festival: June 8 in St. Louis, June 9 in Dayton, Ohio, and June 11 in Memphis. Hancock will serve as Bonnaroo’s first “artist in residence” and is expected to perform with a host of acts throughout the festival.
