When tapping along to any piece of music, I'll invariably try to add unreasonable amounts of ADHD-fueled syncopation, but Watermelon Man somehow saw through me and flawlessly predicted every beat as though my own free will were inscribed in that notation.
Ah, HH. Nevermind... OG Watermelon Man is also fantastic tbh. Hits the right mood on a hot sunny summer day as you're cruising around town in a good mood.
The groove is epic. The whole album is stellar. But d'ya ever get queasy about the head-hunting reference and the mishmash of 'tribal' cultural allusions?

Absolutely surreal listening experience.

May I also recommend “Off The Top” by Jimmy Smith? It’s a superb vibe.
