Herbie Hancock


-
The jazz legend Herbie Hancock won the Grammy for best album with his CD called River - The Joni Letters.
-
It really is fantastic.

Featured on the CD are the singers Norah Jones, Tina Turner, and Corinne Bailey Rae. The songs are by Joni Mitchell. Sort of a Who's-Who album.
-
I have heard two definitions of Jazz. One is: Several guys on stage with each playing a different song at the same time. The Other is: The sound that a good Blues group makes when it is violently pushed down several flights of stairs.
-
Nonethelss, I really like this album.
