About Chameleon
"Chameleon" was composed by Herbie Hancock, Bennie Maupin, Paul Jackson, and Harvey Mason. Released on the groundbreaking 1973 Head Hunters, this 15-minute epic helped pioneer the jazz-funk fusion genre. The original recording featured masterful solos from Hancock and Maupin. In August 2024, Hancock celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Head Hunters album at the Hollywood Bowl with original recording artists and Marcus Miller. Musically, the song is built on a hypnotic two-chord vamp: a i-IV progression in B♭ Dorian (B♭m7 and E♭7). .
