Released in 1977, Heads is a cornerstone of jazz-fusion and smooth jazz, showcasing Bob James at the height of his melodic and production-driven powers. Built on layered keyboards, supple rhythm sections, and cinematic arrangements, the album blends funk, jazz improvisation, and orchestral polish into a sleek, forward-looking sound.
Anchored by tracks like “Nautilus” and “Take Me to the Mardi Gras,” Heads became hugely influential—especially in hip-hop, where its textures and grooves have been extensively sampled. It remains a defining record of late-’70s fusion: refined, rhythmic, and endlessly reusable across generations.
