The music on this recording comes from a very experimental time in Herbie Hancock's career. The Mwandishi period was filled with vast improvisations on a theme. Three songs stretched into 2 hours of music that fans of Experimental Jazz, Progressive Rock (like King Crimson), Post Punk (like Swans) will love. The Mwandishi band released 3 LP's before Herbie Hancock decided to take a more Funk inspired turn with Headhunters.
