After it concludes successfully "Head Hunters" whose Herbie is a historical masterpiece
worldwide, he is absorbed in own world and work with other musicians. It takes charge of the
music of the movie and the recording by "Native Dancer" of Wayne Shorter is famous. And, the
album that places "Manchild" following "Head Hunters" and was produced in 1976 is
this "Secrets". Herbie meets guitar player's "Wah Wah Watson" in the process of the
production of "Manchild". And, this album did splendid work to Watson. Watson is guessed
that the fact to be known as a session guitar player of "Motown" and to participate in the music
that Herbie at this time creates was a natural act. Because "Head Hunters" concluded
successfully indeed in the age that is called so-called "Electric Herbie" in the 70's, this album
might give the listener a little vague impression by the process of evolution. However, Herbie
works on this album with an original sensibility. The appointment of James Levi of the drum
player who competes live with Jaco back blows a new wind from another angle compared with
other works. It has the listener's tension with the sensibility besides the performance of Mike
and Hervey obviously and it has the soothing effect. However, it acts on the tune of Herbie well
and it is also true in the entire tune to give another tension and the excitement. The element of reggae is taken, it is newly ..tune.. born, and a preeminent ..sense of the melody.. tune progressing .."Cantelope Island" to change.. slowly. ｢People Music｣ It will not be an exaggeration any longer to it the possession of the form of the band to call Herbie Hancock Group based on the route of "Head Hunters". And, the number of these albums to give a little tension and the relief by the performance which very much or power came off is one where each musician's technique shines.
