Completing a holy trinity of experimental post-Miles units alongside Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi project was an exploration of Afro-futurist fusions in funk and space-jazz of which Crossings is the second album release, notable for the first inclusion of synth-player Patrick Gleeson in the line-up. Crossings shows Hancock pushing at the boundaries of music in all directions, clearly guided by the spirit of Miles but free to forge an equally radical new sound spectrum.
