Mastered a lot of styles, and blazed some new paths.   Amazing that "Takin' Off", "The Prisoner", "Crossings", "Headhunters", and "Quartet" are all by the same leader, and a lot of gems at each stop.

Such a great musician, many many many more happy birthdays......

But time really flies, when I became acquainted to jazz and jazz-rock, he was a really young man. 

It seems to me like hardly a while ago since he was boogieing on ‘Top of the Pops’ on TV with a gold medallion and shell suit and with the vocoder keyboard deployed ! :)

Same here ...... there was a period when I learned so much from listening to him, rhythmically. The Mwandishi Sextet was the high point, for me.

Happy Birthday, Herbie, and take care!
