Continuing with the theme of how the music moved in different directions after 1970, but jumping ahead a couple of years, here's "Hidden Shadows," from Herbie Hancock's wild "Sextant" (1973).

OK, a bit more edgy for Tuesday. From Herbie Hancock's "Crossings" (1972), listen to "Water Torture."

Enchance is an album by American jazz drummer Billy Hart recorded in 1977 and released on the Horizon label.
The Allmusic review by Eugene Chadbourne states, "The album actually seems to be something like the essence of so many enjoyable directions in improvised music during this period, and is full of the excitement such activity is known for when the action on the bandstand is at its best" - Wikipedia

Herbie Hancock, Sextant, 1973 on Columbia
1973’s Sextant was the last LP with the so-called Mwandishi-era sextet: Bennie Maupin, Eddie Henderson, Julian Priester, Buster Williams, and Billy Hart. It was also his debut on Columbia after Blue Note and Warner Bros. Columbia would also release Head Hunters later the same year.
Great, funky collection – side 2 is one track, the 19:35 “Hornets.” Hancock plays Fender Rhodes, Mellotron, and ARP and Moog synthesizers and there’s lots of complex percussion and instrumentation.
My copy is the Dec 2023 Vinyl Me Please Essentials (VMP E132) reissue, marketed as the 50th Anniversary Edition, on “Lunar Marble” vinyl with listening notes by Marcus J. Moore (who wrote High and Rising, the first biography of De La Soul).

Herbie Hancock, Head Hunters, 1973 on Columbia. (My copy is from the Vinyl Me, Please Story of Herbie Hancock anthology) What can you say about Head Hunters? One of the best selling Jazz records of all time. Hancock melds funk, soul, r&b, and early synths with a solid jazz foundation. A must have for any
