The Stories Behind the Sound

Step inside the creative mind of a jazz-funk revolution. In this intimate panel discussion, original Headhunters members Mike Clark and Bill Summers share the untold stories behind their iconic music. From their groundbreaking collaborations with Herbie Hancock to the making of Head Hunters—one of the most sampled albums in hip-hop history—this is your chance to hear it all, directly from the source.

Ask questions, dig deep, and connect with the legends who helped redefine modern music. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a rare opportunity to learn from the innovators who blurred the lines between jazz, funk, and cultural legacy. Seating is limited, and curiosity is required.
