The first recording Hancock made for Columbia and the last one done with his Mwandishi octet, a group deeply under the influence of Miles Davis' experimentation with electronics and global polyrhythms, SEXTANT was dismissed upon its release as a fusion-absorbed bastardization of jazz forms and melody-free dead ends. But heard through modern ears seduced by Miles' global funk and Brian Eno's soundscapes, it's a revelation, forecasting a future that may or may not have anything to do with Jazz. \u003cbr\u003eIt starts with a flurry of backbeats amidst a funk bottom, as bassist Buster Williams and drummer Billy Hart swing wickedly on midtempo grooves and percussionist Buck Clarke adds a light layer of speedier rhythms. Bennie Maupin, Eddie Henderson and Julian Priester's horns keep the music at least slightly grounded in the electric jazz idiom. Still, the true alchemists in this sonic play are Hancock (strapped in a cockpit of keyboards and synthesizers, orchestrating the chaos) and synthesizer technician Patrick Gleason, whose special effects impregnate these three tracks with a futurism beyond its years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReissued on 180 gram Vinyl, this classic jazz album is finally available on LP for the first time in over 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Rain Dance (9:16)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Hidden Shadows (10:13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Hornets (19:36)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2012-06-05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Herbie Hancock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53846457254072,"sku":"CFF9L5-UNL0-8L","price":35.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/herbie-hancock-sextant-180-gram-vinyl-import_893TD.jpg?v=1785777392","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/herbie-hancock-sextant-180-gram-vinyl-import","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
