Mwandishi: Wandering Spirit Songs (A Medley)

Herbie Hancock quietly spent 1970 assembling a cast of players that stylistically embodied the next – and most significant – direction of his sound. Here, we have assembled these players at the height of their creative powers in the early seventies. All are accompanied by at least one of their Mwandishi compatriots, and most feature much of the ensemble.
