HERBIE HANCOCK Crossings (Speakers Corner limited edition 3-track black vinyl LP, an all-analogue production from the original mastertapes, pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl at Pallas, Germany. Originally released in 1972 Crossings is the second album in his Mwandishi period, which saw him experimenting in electronics and funk with a sextet featuring saxophonist Bennie Maupin, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, trombonist Julian Priester, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Billy Hart. Gatefold picture sleeve with original cover artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)

TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Herbie Hancock's Crossings was to be found on every IKEA record shelf in the student pads of jazz-fusion fans. The cover, with its psychedelic touch, also contributed significantly to its popularity — although it was unclear where the crossing was going to take us ...

Nevertheless, the excellent trumpeter Eddie Henderson — often underestimated as an improviser and composer, and Benny Maupin — who like Hancock had grown up under Miles Davis's wing, present a wide range of sound-generating instruments — as was all the rage in those days. Synthesizer and Mellotron (a polyphonic tape replay keyboard and as such practically the prototype of the sampler) were permanent members of the group — and even produce here melodic arches of sound! Whether Bennie Maupin's "Quasar" launches the group and us into extraterrestrial territory (as stated in one review) is a moot point.

This LP is a contemporary historical document, though it certainly doesn't sound antiquated. That's why younger listeners too will find pleasure in this experiment from the previous millennium.
