Fat Albert Rotunda is Herbie Hancock at his most playful and funky, a groove-packed 1969 set that arrives here as a Holland import.
The album grew out of music Hancock wrote for the animated television special Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert, and it marked his first record for Warner Bros. after leaving Blue Note. Rather than a straightforward soundtrack, it plays as a fully formed album, steeped in the soul and R&B sounds that were dominating radio at the time.
The horn-driven grooves owe plenty to James Brown and Memphis soul, with Hancock switching to electric piano for much of the record. "Wiggle-Waggle" kicks things off with a tight, strutting rhythm and punchy brass, while "Fat Mama" settles into a looser, greasier funk feel that practically begs for a dance floor.
The pace drops for "Tell Me a Bedtime Story," a gently floating tune with a lovely, lullaby glow, and "Jessica" is a tender, lyrical ballad that shows off his gift for melody and space.
It sits at a fascinating crossroads in Hancock's catalog, between his post-bop work of the 1960s and the electric adventures that would follow. Fun, funky and full of heart, it's every bit as lively as its cartoon origins suggest.
