Herbie Hancock - Crossings - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Speakers Corner Reissue

A psychedelic touchstone of early-'70s electric jazz, Crossings (1972) finds Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band — with trumpeter Eddie Henderson and reedman Bennie Maupin — exploring vast, otherworldly soundscapes. Synthesizer and Mellotron, then cutting-edge, weave melodic arcs through extended, exploratory pieces. A historical document that still sounds anything but antiquated.
