As the 1960s ended; Herbie Hancock embarked on a grand creative experiment. Having just been dismissed from the celebrated Miles Davis Quintet; he set out on the road; playing with his first touring group as a leader until he eventually formed what would become a revolutionary band. Taking the Swahili name Mwandishi; the group would go on to play some of the most innovative music of the 1970s; fusing an assortment of musical genres; American and African cultures; and acoustic and electronic sounds into groundbreaking experiments that helped shape the American popular music that followed. In Yoursquo;ll Know When You Get There; Bob Gluck offers the first comprehensive study of this influential group; mapping the musical; technological; political; and cultural changes that they not only lived in but also effected.
