Herbie Hancock: Wiggle-Waggle and Fat Albert Rotunda [1969]
ripped from the cryptically-titled Fat Albert Rotunda
"Wiggle-Waggle": Very hip 8-bar "blues" chord progression on this.
"Fat Albert Rotunda": Great free jazz stylings from Joe Henderson and shamanistic percussion from (?).

Herbie Hancock - piano, electric piano
Joe Henderson - alto flute, tenor sax
Johnny Coles - trumpet, fluegel horn
Garnet Brown - trombone
Tootie Heath - drums

Very underrated album from Herbie. The players are all top-notch.
I think the percussion is Billy Hart. Great music on your blog!
