Review #75! 'Mwandishi'. Herbie at his most experimental. Atmospheric percussion, sorrowful horn sections, and spacey keyboards. It could've just been me expecting something competely different, but I wasn't prepared for every song to be somewhat sad and slow. 'Ostinato - Suite for Angela' is one of the better two songs on this album, although I consistently found myself getting lost in the emotion and not the instrumentation, which, as a first listen, was what I was trying to accomplish. 'You'll Know When You Get There' is just ten minutes of what seems like the same thing. 'Wandering Spirit Song' is the most intense song on this album, and gradually builds from a sad suite, much like the other two songs, to an energetic powerhouse of discordant sounds. Greatly experimental, and not the easiest listen, but a great track, which really saves this otherwise mediocre jazz album. Not Herbie's finest, but definitely not his worst.
