Ανυπολόγιστα μπροστά απ΄την εποχή του, o Herbie Hancock των early ’70s πειραματιζόμενος με τα συνθεσάιζερ – σ’ ένα κομμάτι από το 3ο και τελευταίο “Mwandishi” άλμπουμ (όπως ονομάστηκαν οι κυκλοφορίες του εκείνης της περιόδου).

Incalculably ahead of his time, early ’70s Herbie Hancock experimenting on synthesizers – in a piece from the 3rd and last “Mwandishi” album (as the releases of that period were named).

Mwandishi (Herbie Hancock) – piano, Fender Rhodes, clavinet, Mellotron, ARP 2600, ARP Pro Soloist, Moog synthesizer
Mwile (Bennie Maupin) – soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, piccolo, afuche
Mganga (Eddie Henderson) – trumpet, flugelhorn
Pepo (Julian Priester) – bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, cowbell
Mchezaji (Buster Williams) – bass guitar, double bass
Jabali (Billy Hart) – drums
Patrick Gleeson – ARP 2600, ARP Pro Soloist
Buck Clarke – percussion



Enjoy!
