Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 12th September 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

This album is one of Hancock's first departures from the traditional idioms of jazz, as well as the beginning of an original and creative style which eventually

appealed to a wider audience. In addition, Mwandishi was Hancock's attempt at continuing the musical principles and styles he explored in his previous experiences with Miles Davis.

Mwandishi was recorded at Wally Heider Studios Studio C, in San Francisco, California in January 1971, by Hancock's Mwandishi Sextet. The recording incorporated progressive notions of funk, jazz, and rock.

Herbie Hancock is one of the most prolific jazz pianists of the 20th century. A child prodigy, he played with  greats such as Donald Byrd and Miles Davis. He was one of the first to embrace and master the electric piano.

Mwandishi is now available as a limited numbered edition of 2000 copies on green coloured vinyl
