Herbie Hancock Septet: Live at the Boardinghouse January 16, 1973

Recently, a previously unheard Sextant tour FM broadcast from SF’s legendary Boarding House emerged. It’s well worth your time. This group is especially good when they stretch way way way out. And they certainly do that here: most of the performance is made up of a 40+ minute spiral through “Hidden Shadows.” Everyone gets a chance to shine, of course, but let’s give it up for the rhythm section of Buster Williams and Billy Hart, who hold things down and lift things up simultaneously, letting the prog-funk-jazz mutant grooves spin and swirl all around the room. Unreal!
