Fusion, Jazz-Funk

 Secrets is a jazz-funk fusion album by keyboard player Herbie Hancock. It is Hancock's seventeenth album and features saxophonist Bennie Maupin and guitarist Wah Wah Watson.

 Secrets (1976) is a Jazz-Funk fusion album by acclaimed keyboard player Herbie Hancock. Following up on his previous album Man-Child, the album again features Paul Jackson on bass, and reedist Bennie Maupin continued to provide most of the solos alongside Hancock. Man-Child had seen the addition of electric guitar to Hancock's sound, and Secrets saw the guitar's place in the arrangements rise to crucial importance throughout. The flamboyant rhythm guitar contributions of top Motown session musician Wah Wah Watson are a particularly notable feature of the album. Where Man-Child was evenly divided between up-tempo and laid-back tracks, Secrets emphasised the more mellow, softly rounded mood. Even the more up-tempo tracks, "Doin' It" and "Cantaloupe Island", are suffused with a relaxed Caribbean influence, and overall the album tends towards restrained, rolling grooves rather than overtly hig

The album clearly followed from its predecessor Man-Child. As ever, Paul Jackson's basslines were present, and the other regular member Bennie Maupin continued to provide most of the solos alongside Hancock. Man-Child had seen the addition of electric guitar to Hancock's sound, which was retained on Secrets. The rhythm guitar of Motown session musician Wah Wah Watson is a notable feature of the album.
