Herbie Hancock - Sextant

Herbie Hancock’s Sextant is back on wax—reissued on luxurious 180-gram vinyl and sounding more interstellar than ever. This groundbreaking 1973 release, long out of print on LP, finally returns to your turntable after over 30 years.

Blending avant-garde jazz with electronic experimentation, Sextant marked a bold new direction for Hancock. With tracks like “Rain Dance” and “Hidden Shadows,” the album plunges into cosmic soundscapes, driven by ARP synths, Moogs, and funk-fueled rhythms. It's unpredictable, challenging, and utterly hypnotic—an essential listen for fans of spiritual and experimental jazz.

The Mwandishi band is in full force here, pushing boundaries with fearless improvisation and layered textures that still sound futuristic. This is the album where Hancock fully leaned into the unknown.

Whether you're a jazz purist, a fusion fanatic, or a vinyl head on the hunt for the rare and remarkable, Sextant is a deep-space journey you won’t want to miss.
