My Music History 101
I must admit that I really have a tricky taste in music. I always have this awkward moment when I talk to my friends about my favorite bands or groups. And, I've wanted to write about it for a long time so that people can understand how I get here.
It all started with my parents' CD collection. Jazz and folk music. Well, I bet you think there's nothing wrong with it. I was an innocent middle-schooler, and I didn't really listen to music at that time. One day, I suddenly started to hunt out CDs in living room with no reason. Maybe just to kill time. Then, I found out that I particularly liked a piano jazz tune by Herbie Hancock, named Watermelon Man. The track was in a compilation album, and that was the only track of him. I wanted more.
Of course, I knew virtually nothing about Herbie Hancock. Without the Internet connection, the only thing I could do was to go to a record store and find more of his CDs. I should have bought "Takin' Off" that was recorded in 1962 and includes Watermelon Man. What I got instead was "Future 2 Future", his newest album at that time. I had no doubt that was a Jazz album even though the cover design clearly shows it's not. I got home with beaming smile and listened to the CD right away. I was SHOCKED.
"Future 2 Future" is not exactly "jazz" music. It's a mixture of Jazz, Hip-Hop, African music, Electronica, Techno, and Drum'n Bass. This genre-straddling type of music is now called Club Jazz or Future Jazz. And that CD was something made me take the wrong path for next 10 years of my music life. Continued...
Watermelon Man

This is pretty close to the original version I love. Yes, Hancock arranged this tune in funk style in 70's, but that's another story. Anyway, imagine how stunned I was when I first listened to next clip.
