The Jazzette Readers Music Poll June Issue selection is Chameleon by Harvey Mason. The lead composition, Chameleon, from Herbie Hancock’s 1973 landmark Head Hunters serves, in part, as the signifying reference for Harvey Mason’s new CD. Not only did Mason provide the rhythmic spank for the Jazz Funk staple, he co-wrote it with Hancock along with several other bandmates Paul Jackson and Reedist Bennie Maupin. Amazon.

Chameleon track list: 1. Black Frost 2. Montara

3. If I Ever Lose This Heaven 4. Looking Back 5. Before The Dawn 6. Studio Life 7. Places and Spaces 8. Either Way 9. Mase’s Theme 10. Chameleon 11. Looking Forward
