start wherever man. just start somewhere. you don't have to do it chronologically, but if you want to be autistic about it start at head hunters and then go on to the next album.

Fuck my god damn shit I forgot the "Experimental" section.
If you like your jazz weird as shit go with the Mwandishi trilogy (Mwandishi (1971) Crossings (1972) and Sextant (1973)
Gavin Scott
Is Mwandishi really weird as shit? It doesn't sound it to me, but I'm aware my boundaries aren't in the same place as most people's...
David King
Maybe weird isn't the right word but in comparison it's more strange than his other works (along with the other 2 in the trilogy, with Sextant being the peak).
Asher Lee
Hope my guide helped you op. :)
Leo Gomez
well, you start with Headhunters
apart from the list, I recommend checking out live album Flood from 1975. It's not that well known since it was only released in Japan originally, but I think it's certainly one of the best funk/fusion -era Herbie albums with some nice acoustic piano tunes as well.
Charles Martinez
Holy shit enough with Herbie Hancock already
Carter Garcia
No.
Michael Morris
>tfw Herbie Hancock guy hasn't even heard the Miles Davis albums and live recordings that Herbie plays on
Xavier Hughes
Y'all sextant is good as shit, def herbie's peak
as far as experimental shit goes, it's hard to name a better album
also just sharing some herbie oc, don't actually reply
Julian Kelly
>Sextant
>Herbies peak
Nice try ya goofster. We all know he peaked with funk.
But still: Wow Herbie! My thread isn't shit anymore!
Lucas Rodriguez
tbqh herbie guy seems like he took the name before really knowing what he was getting into
respect though, he's learning
Aiden Morris
>Live albums
Oh no....
Gabriel Morales
Xavier Peterson
post good albums (besides the obvious Miles) where Herbie plays as a sideman
Matthew Johnson
Andrew Diaz
famalamalam this is a good idea
Parker Lopez
Jason Evans

This version of Watermelon Man made me appreciate his music a lot. Played it with my band, it was fun but a bit unorganised.
Fun fact: The intro is his drummer blowing in a bottle
