"Chameleon" is a #jazzFusion standard composed by #HerbieHancock with #BennieMaupin, #PaulJackson and #HarveyMason, all of whom also performed #theOriginal 15:44 full-length version on the 1973 album #HeadHunters, and featuring solos by Hancock and Maupin.

In 1974 Herbie Hancock released "Thrust." Here's the album closer, "Spank-A-Lee." Maupin's neat and sometimes shouty solo over the top of everything kicks off at 3:05.

Sitar? Tabla? Harmon mute? 7/4 meter? Recorded a few months after the Bitches Brew sessions in 1969, here's "Great Expectations."

Back to Mr. Hancock. "Sextant" wasn't a hit, so it was time to throw down some funk. Here's "Chameleon," from "Head Hunters" (1973). Likely should be played loud.

Continuing with the theme of how the music moved in different directions after 1970, but jumping ahead a couple of years, here's "Hidden Shadows," from Herbie Hancock's wild "Sextant" (1973).

How about a little edgy bass clarinet? Listen to Bennie Maupin's "Neophilia," from "Lee Morgan Live at the Lighthouse" (1971).

OK, a bit more edgy for Tuesday. From Herbie Hancock's "Crossings" (1972), listen to "Water Torture."

Miles Davis - Jack Johnson

I've read multiple conflicting accounts of how this album came together. Despite it being two tracks (Side A - Right Off; Side B - Yesternow), it was edited together by Teo Macero from a bunch of separate sessions.

But whatever the truth is, the band absolutely cooks. Probably my favorite "Electric Miles" album.

I need more #BennieMaupin in my collection. This year I picked up a #CD with both his Slow Traffic to the Right and Moonscapes on it. It was the strings that got me. #jazz #fusion #souljazz
