Reviews for You'll Know When You Get There: Herbie Hancock and the Mwandishi Band
Gluck takes a fascinating look at the development of a musical identity. The book is ostensibly about pianist Herbie Hancock and his sextet's Mwandishi period-a free-jazz, electronics-heavy evolution of the hard-bop group he formed in 1968-but it really uses Hancock's story to show how musicians adapt to changing technology, new musical ideas, and greater cultural identities.
