Live 1976
By the mid-1970s, Herbie Hancock had left bop and post-bop behind as he grew increasingly fascinated with electric keyboards and early synthesizers. Long a genre-straddling innovator, Hancock embraced instrumental funk, and rhythm-powered experimental avenues on his 1975 album Man-Child and, a year later, Secrets. Hancock set about changing the sound and vibe of jazz.
