If you don't have Herbie Hancock in your music collection, you may want to reconsider.
The renowned jazz pianist recently won the 2008 Grammy for Album of the Year.
River: The Joni Letters, is a tribute to the music of JUNO award winning Joni Mitchell -- my all time favorite Canadian musician.
The CD's dozen cuts include Court and Spark, featuring Norah Jones; River, with Corinne Bailey Rae; Amelia, featuring Luciana Souza, The Jungle Line with Leonard Cohen and Tea Leaf Prophecy with Joni Mitchell. Other artists include Tina Turner and Sonya Kitchell.
There's also a lovely instrumental version of A Case of You.
Musicians performing with Hancock include Wayner Shorter, soprano and tenor sax; Dave Holland, bass; Vinnie Colaiuta, drums; Lionel Loueke, guitar; Larry Klein, bass; Paulinho Da Costa, percussion; and Dean Parks, guitar.
Beautifully produced and arranged by Larry Klein and Herbie Hancock.
