{"product_id":"crossings","title":"Herbie Hancock - Crossings |-","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, Herbie Hancock’s “Crossings” was to be found on every \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eIKEA\u003c\/span\u003e 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 …\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, 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territory (as stated in one review) is a moot point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis LP is a contemporary historical document, though it certainly doesn’t sound antiquated.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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e180 gram LP w\/ Standard Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRecording: February 1972 at Pacific Recording Studios, San Mateo, CA., by Patrick Gleason\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Warner BS 2617 -Artist-Herbie Hancock\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: JAZZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/28\/19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Herbie Hancock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54553825214801,"sku":"7A3KZ1-BSFN-7E","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/herbie-hancock-crossings_4jBec_626fcab8-bd06-4c21-bcb8-e0a92f28065d.png?v=1786531395","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/crossings","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
