"[Herbie Hancock produced advanced music that was also instantly accessible. As one musician of the time put it: 'Once that record came out, you heard 'Watermelon Man' everywhere; kids were playing it on jukeboxes, it was on the radio, guys were trying to do it in the subway. You knew at once it was special.'" Brian Morton.
