In 1974 Herbie Hancock released "Thrust." Here's the album closer, "Spank-A-Lee." Maupin's neat and sometimes shouty solo over the top of everything kicks off at 3:05.

Back to Mr. Hancock. "Sextant" wasn't a hit, so it was time to throw down some funk. Here's "Chameleon," from "Head Hunters" (1973). Likely should be played loud.
