Herbie Hancock

Crossings is the cosmic bridge between Herbie Hancock�s spiritual Mwandishi period and his later funk-forward explorations. Reissued by Music On Vinyl (MOVLP2189), this album is a sprawling, psychedelic journey anchored by the side-long suite Sleeping Giant and followed by Quasar and Water Torture. Electric piano, bass clarinet, experimental electronics and layered percussion create vast, evolving sound worlds that feel cinematic and otherworldly, moving seamlessly between structured themes and free improvisation. The 180-gram pressing captures the dynamic range beautifully�from quiet, meditative passages to explosive full-band climaxes and dense, swirling climactic sections. A must-own piece of spiritual jazz and early fusion history, Crossings rewards focused listening and stands as a key document of 70s jazz innovation.
