His entire “Mwandishi” era is so banging, really all these records hit front to back:
Mwandishi
Crossings
Sextant
Headhunters
And the live record July 21st ‘71 in Nice, France from this time period smokes too.
Just copped Man-child the other day actually which is still the tail end of the Headhunter era (think there’s two or three records between this and headhunters but I don’t own them) and while it’s good, he really breaks out during Mwandishi era, experiments, and it’s very, very rad.
