| On first glance
this record would not seem to have much promise from a jazz standpoint.
Herbie Hancock performs a set of tunes which include numbers from the
likes of Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Sade, Paul Simon, Prince, the
Beatles ("Norwegian Wood") and Kurt Cobain. However by adding vamps,
reharmonizing the chord structures, sometimes quickly discarding the
melodies and utilizing an all-star band, Hancock was able to transform
the potentially unrewarding music into creative jazz. Hancock, who
sticks to acoustic piano, shows that he is still in prime form, taking
quite a few fiery solos. |
