New Horizons is the debut album by the Philadelphia-based jazz collective Sounds of Liberation. It was recorded during March 1972 at Impact Sound in Philadelphia, and was released on vinyl later that year by Dogtown Records. In 2010, it was reissued in remastered form on both vinyl and CD by Porter Records with the title Sounds of Liberation, and in 2019, it was reissued on vinyl, with liner notes by writer Francis Davis, by Dogtown. The album features vibraphonist and band leader Khan Jamal, saxophonist Byard Lancaster, guitarist Monnette Sudler, electric bassist Billy Mills, drummer Dwight James, conga player Rashid Salim, and percussionist Omar Hill.

New Horizons was the group's only commercially issued recording prior to their dissolution. However, in 2019, Dogtown issued an album, titled Unreleased, documenting a 1973 live performance at Columbia University.
