It’s the second album in his Mwandishi trilogy - a set of three experimental, electronic jazz fusion records - following “Mwandishi” (1971) and preceding “Sextant” (1973). “Crossings” was ahead of its time, blending electronic music with jazz in a way few had done before. The album is highly experimental, featuring electric instruments, synthesizers and complex arrangements. It fuses African rhythms, spacey textures and jazz improvisation into a bold sonic journey. If you’re into deep spacey grooves, cosmic jazz, or sci-fi soundscapes, this album is your jam. It’s not easy-listening jazz - it’s exploratory, immersive and a bit surreal \/ TRACKLIST: 1.
