The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) description
The ageless keyboardist-composer Herbie Hancock, who's played with everybody from Miles Davis to Quincy Jones, lets loose in a jazzy performance recorded live at Black Entertainment Television's Studio II in Washington, D.C. Backed by a quicksilver combo featuring drummer Teri Lynne Carrington, Hancock and his intricate pianisms dust off well-worn standards like George Gershwin's "Fascinatin' Rhythm," W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues," and James P. Johnson's "Blueberry Pie" with new post-bop, world music seasonings. Hancock was a mainstay on the legendary Blue Note record label in the '60s, where he released two of his biggest jazz hits, "Cantaloupe Island" and "Maiden Voyage." Those two tunes are redone in this scintillating set with a welcome melodic freshness that shows that Hancock still has what it takes. --Eugene Holley Jr. |

HANCOCK TAKES ULTRA-HIP TO A NEW LEVEL!
|
Man... I had to pause the show from excitement to rush in an write a review!
Just got the DVD in today, watched & listened to the first three performances (cause these are much more than just "songs") and I am completely blown away!
The level of musical geniousness onstage is mind boggling! From the woman on drums to the wild show-stopping percussionist Herbie Hancock went above and beyond the normal realms of listening to jazz.
You can tell there is some improv throughout the show but it's so tight it might as well have been written and rehearsed a thousand times...these musicians ARE what they play!
Don't pass this one up, jazz lovers and musicians of all instruments need to see and hear what Hancock has cooked up this time around.
Baby, it's gonna be "Your New Cool Thing". Guaranteed.
Now I gotta get back to the show!
