Mr. Hands is Herbie Hancock's twentieth studio album, released in 1980. It was recorded between 1979 and 1980 at various studios, including The Automatt in San Francisco and Ocean Way Recording in Los Angeles. The album marks a partial return to jazz fusion after Hancock's more commercial phase in the late 1970s.
The album features prominent musicians such as Jaco Pastorius on bass, Tony Williams on drums, and Bennie Maupin on saxophone. The track "4 A.M." is an acoustic jazz piece with Hancock on solo piano, while "Shiftless Shuffle" and "Calypso" explore Caribbean rhythms and funk. The album was produced by Hancock and David Rubinson.
Mr. Hands received positive reviews for its stylistic diversity and Hancock's technical mastery. Although it did not achieve the commercial success of earlier albums like "Head Hunters", it is considered an important work in his discography for its experimentation and interpretive quality.
