It was Hancock's first album for the label after two for Warner Bros., and the last studio record by his Mwandishi sextet: Bennie Maupin on reeds, Eddie Henderson on trumpet and flugelhorn, Julian Priester on trombones, Buster Williams on bass and Billy Hart on drums, joined by Patrick Gleeson on ARP synthesizers and Buck Clarke on percussion. David Rubinson produced the sessions at Wally Heider Studios and Different Fur in San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApple Music's editorial notes describe the album as Hancock's first documented work on Moog and ARP synthesizers. Hancock's own site records that the original tape boxes named \"Rain Dance\" as \"Loop Tune\" and \"Hidden Shadows\" as \"Million Seller,\" and lists peaks of No. 3 on Billboard's jazz chart and No. 176 on the pop chart. Within the year Hancock had formed the Headhunters, keeping only Maupin from this lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eHornets\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196588197215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony Import\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.25.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500919226526,"sku":"196588197215","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/sextant_rotm_v2.jpg?v=1791771383","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/herbie-hancock-sextant-lunar-marble-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
