Watermelon Man - Saxophone Music by Johnny Ferreira

Composed by Herbie Hancock and first released on his debut solo album in 1962. This was one of those rare jazz tunes that was so catchy it made the pop charts, first Herbie’s version and the next year again with a latin version by Mongo Santamaria. Another very cool version from 1962 was by King Curtis, which was the inspiration for the backing track version that you can download here:
