"Watermelon Man" is a jazz standard written by Herbie Hancock for his debut album, Takin' Off (1962). Hancock's first version was released as a grooving hard bop record, and featured improvisations by Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordon. A single reached the Top 100 of the pop chart. Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaría released the tune as a Latin pop single and it became a surprise hit, reaching No. 10 on the pop chart. Santamaría's recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. Hancock radically re-worked the tune, combining elements of funk, for the album Head Hunters (1973).

  • Watermelon Man ist eine von dem Jazz-Pianisten Herbie Hancock erstmals 1962 auf dem Album Takin’ Off veröffentlichte Komposition. Watermelon Man gehört zu den beliebtesten Jazzstandards und wird häufig bei Jamsessions gespielt, weil er, obwohl 16-taktig, der dreistufigen Bluesform ähnelt. Gloria Lynne schrieb 1964 einen Text zu dem Song. Watermelon Man war zunächst 1963 ein Hit für Mongo Santamaría; der Kubaner erreichte damit Platz 10 der US-Popcharts. Die Komposition wurde 1973 auf Hancocks Bestseller Head Hunters in moderner und sechsminütiger Form im Funk-/Fusionstil neu eingespielt. (de)
  • Watermelon Man est un standard de jazz composé par Herbie Hancock, issu de son premier album Takin' Off en 1962. Herbie Hancock en a également donné une version funk dans l'album Head Hunters de 1973. C'est un véritable « tube » musical, qui est entré dans le Top 100 des pop charts. Le riff de clavinet, la mélodie et la structure basée sur le blues l'ont rendu très adaptable à d'autres styles de musiques. Il en existe même une version disco sortie en 1979. (fr)
