Fat Albert Rotunda

Fat Albert Rotunda is the eighth album by jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock, released in 1969.

On this album Hancock changes to a jazz-funk style with a playful 1960s R&B flavor, to fit the cartoon theme.

Five songs were played by tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson (mostly playing flutes), trombonist Garnett Brown and trumpeter Johnny Coles, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath.

The opening and closing tracks were played by trumpeters Joe Newman and Ernie Royal, saxophonists Joe Farrell and Art Clarke, trombonist Benny Powell, guitarists Eric Gale and Billy Butler, bassist Jerry Jemmott, and drummer Bernard Purdie.
