I just found out this morning that Herbie Hancock got the Grammy for album of the year. I was at first very surprised, then delighted that the Academy gave the biggest Grammy award to a Jazz artists (one of the best, of course) for once.I didn't have the album, so I got on iTunes and downloaded it right away. I've only listened to it once so far at work, but what I've heard so far is really g...

www.lanier2.imeem.comHerbie Hancock will always be one of the most revered and controversial figures in jazz -- just as his employer/mentor Miles Davis was when he was alive. Unlike Miles, who pressed ahead relentlessly and never looked back until near the very end, Hancock has cut a zigzagging forward path, shuttling between almost every development in electronic and acoustic jazz and R&B over th

What's colourful, geometric, and glowing all over? That would be the butterfly I imagine flying through a dreamy landscape of mystery and peril when I listen to this Herbie Hancock track. My interpretation, of course, can differ from yours. In either case this song, and entire album, is worth a listen.Unlike the loosely knit, psychadelic jazz "Sextant" released in 1972 this album and its predec...

Before recording the Joni Mitchell songs that comprise 10 of the 12 tracks* on River - The Joni Letters, Herbie Hancock first gathered his fellow musicians -- Wayne Shorter on sax, Dave Holland on bass, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Lionel Loueke on guitar -- and discussed the meaning of the lyrics, the environment of the lyrics in relation to the music. The music they crafted together is a hauntin

This is the definition of the era of jazz rock, with the last final offering from Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band. The works and experience that Hancock received from Miles Davis is heard in the heavy elecro-swirl that is echoed in themes such as "Rain Dances" and bass-and-drum feel in "Hornets" futuristic-cosmo layered track.

Hell, press play and read on.I've been a 'fan' of Harley Newman for better than 20 years. Ever since my friend John Tunney and I saw him hanging upside down wearing a straight jacket in Lockridge Park. As the story goes John and I were walking in Lockridge when saw this nut trying to escape a straight jacket while another cat was shooting pictures. We stopped and watched the free show. Not at a...

Happy Valentines Day moggers! Here's a tender love song for you by Herbie Hancock. I had never heard this before until last month and for some reason I can't get it out of my head ever since. The whole album is pretty good too. If your into that sort of thing. I didn't realize Herbie had a disco side to him. He totally went bananas on this album.

It's finally Friday, and it's a great day to wrap up the Mod/Psychadelic/Freakbeat section of my 60's alternative jukebox. There was some pretty funky tracks spinning back then. Let's honor Herbie Hancock, whoose "Jonie Letters" took the best album Grammy this year, with a track he contributed to one of my fave filmaker's classic's. Michaelangelo Antonioni's "Blowup" was the Italian filmaker's ...
