Evening Update - Marie Osmond, Madonna, Paul McCartney, more
2008-05-10 05:45:00
Marie Osmond has weighed in on the whole Miley Cyrus photo fiasco. Her criticism is not for Miley, but for her father Billy Ray for leaving the shoot before it was over. Osmond told AOL Television, "My parents never, never left us alone. We always had some form of a guardian or something with us, a guardian that would represent what they would have done."There is an active rumor in the U.K. that Madonna may expand her schedule at London's Wembley Arena from her current single show to a full residency. The reports say that it could challenge Michael Jackson's twenty-year-old record of seven nights at the venue.It's probably just a lot of fan speculation, but English chat boards are overrun with the idea that Ringo Starr will play with Paul McCartney at Liverpool's Sound City music festival from May 27 to 30. A source tells the Daily Star "There's been a lot of chat in Beatles fan chatrooms on the internet and the feeling is that it could happen."A new on-line poll in Englan...

Herbie Hancock - New Standard [1996]
2008-04-23 08:06:00
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 ...

Hancock Has Huge Sales Jump, Jackson Debuts Strong
2008-02-20 20:56:00
Who say the Grammys don't matter? They most certainly do, at least in the realm of sales. Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters jumped from number 159 to number five this week on the album chart with an increase in sales of 967%. Sales of the album for the week totaled 54,000 copies, which equals the total sales for the disc between its release last September and Grammy night.It's also the highest that Hancock has charted on the pop albums chart in his forty year career. Hancock's first album, Blow-Up, peaked at number 192 in 1967. Since that time, he's had two top twenty albums, Head Hunters in 1974 (peaked at number 13) and Trust from later that same year (peaked at number 12).Hancock's album finally displaces the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden which had been the highest charting album by a classic artist for the last fourteen weeks.Also getting a huge bump in sales is retro-soul queen Amy Winehouse, who received five wins on Grammy night. Her Back to Black jumped f...

Herbie Hancock - Possibilities [2005]
2008-02-18 06:14:00
Review by J. Lund “jazzbrat” The pre-release word-of-blog regarding POSSIBILITIES among a number of long-time Herbie Hancock fans has largely been suspicious of this album’s potential for bridging stylistic gaps among some, if not all of the album’s guests. And the Starbucks connection also left many seeing this as a marketing gimmick. Well, even if it ...

Grammy Awards 2008, Herbie Hancock vice l'Album of the Year, Notizie dal mo
2008-02-11 11:01:00
Fonte: Ultime Notizie Agenzia di pubblicità Oggetto: Grammy Awards 2008, Herbie Hancock vice l'Album of the Year Inviato: Lun Feb 11, 2008 9:01 pm (GMT 11) Amy Winehouse ha vinto un gran numero premi ai Grammy Awards 2008 di Los Angeles. La cantante inglese non era alle premiazioni di Los Angeles perché le era stato rifiutato il visto per gli Stati Uniti e quando finalmente è arrivato, la cantante, appena uscita da una clinica per trattamenti di disintossicazione, ha detto che ormai era troppo tardi per partire. Il premio più ambito per il miglior album se l'é aggiudicata il jazzista Herbie Hancock con 'River: The Joni Letters'. Deluso sicuramente anche la star dell'hip-hop americano, Kanye West, che era in pole position con addirittura 8 nomination e a cui sono andati 4 premi.

Herbie Hancock is one of the most gifted jazz musicians, period.  He has played with most of the jazz greats.  I, first, heard of Hancock in the early 70’s.  My father had the tape Headhunters.  I really can’t do him justice tonight.  Hopefully, Elton can round out this tribute. grammies, grammy, herbie hancock, jazz musicians, music

John Paul Jones has told Rolling Stone that he, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page will be meeting later this month to consider further Led Zeppelin reunion shows."There is a band meeting in January. It could be fun to do more stuff."The Johnny Cash tribute concert set for San Quentin this Sunday to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his appearance has been canceled. The prison blamed it on problems with filming rights, media access and security.According to Variety, Herbie Hancock and Joni Mitchell have discussed a tour together. Nothing is set in stone.In addition, if Hancock wins the Grammy next month for Album of the year, it will be the first time since 1958 and Henry Mancini that an album has won that was not supported by a full tour.Barry Gordy will receive the Grammy President's Merit Award at an event right after the awards ceremony on February 10.

Herbie Hancock - Future 2 Future
2007-12-29 21:55:00
One of Herbie Hancock's greatest attributes is his ability to take a contemporary form of music and add his own unique perspective through his recordings. Future 2 Future is no exception to the rule. Teaming with Bill Laswell, Hancock recruits some of the most forward-thinking musicians in music for Future 2 Future. The contributions of electronic music pioneer Carl Craig, vocal diva Chaka Khan, drum'n'bass producer A Guy Called Gerald, as well as jazz legends Jack DeJohnette and Wayne Shorter make the album feel like a cross between modern electronica and world music. While a lineup with such immense talent promises the delivery of a powerhouse record, the finished product only delivers the goods moderately. Several pieces produced for the album were almost completed before Hancock contributed keyboards. This production method leaves the record lacking the spontaneity and continuity that grace several of his early electronic-based records and tenure with the Headhunters, to the ...

Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child
2007-12-06 10:08:00
Comment: "Speak Like a Child" is a Herbie Hancock release that was out of print for many years before it was rescued by Rudy Van Gelder, who remastered and reissued it in 2005. It's the followup to his classic "Maiden Voyage" and was recorded in two sessions: March 6 and March 9 in 1968. Hancock is well-supported by a talented team, with bass player Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker making

Herbie Hancock - Sextant (1973)Recorded with the sly, space-funky band that Herbie Hancock formed as Mwandishi (check out the two-CD Warner Bros. collection), Sextant is one of those cornerstone jazz CDs. It ranks with the best early, electric fusion for its fuzzing of textures, always used as bedrock for killer, roomy solos. A troika of horn greats can take much of the credit for the solos: trombonist Julian Priester, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, and saxist Bennie Maupin. Each generates great, dense ideas without betraying Hancock's eerie ambience and funky vibe. Yes, this is an aggregation of many 1970s-era ideas: renewed sense of Africanisms (at least in the band's naming), intensified percussive underpinnings, and a heap of rumbly rhythms that give props to everyone in neofunk jazz from Clyde Stubblefield to Funkadelic, albeit in a slowed, methodically rhythmic vein. Hancock's keyboards make fine clouds, as well as slinking shuffles.Herbie Hancock - Headhunters (1973)Keyboardis...

Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters (2007)
2007-10-23 21:56:00
Any doubts about the incongruity of jazz icon Herbie Hancock covering singer-songwriter extraordinare Joni Mitchell will be obliterated on the first journey through RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS. For starters, the premise is not especially incongruous. Hancock has had a long, adventurous career in which he's traversed genres and masterfully blended styles, while Mitchell has always been deeply influenced by jazz as both a composer and a singer. RIVER features many of Mitchell's finest songs, stunning in their own right and reinterpreted beautifully by Hancock, plus a stellar assortment of musicians and guest vocalists.Mitchell's pop and folk tendencies have been assimilated into the arrangements; the album plays like a vocal jazz outing. Hancock is joined by fellow Miles Davis alums Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland, among others, and the guest vocalists include Nora Jones, Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae, Leonard Cohen, and--on one track--Mitchell herself. Sophisticated, soulful, and gor...

Herbie Hancock - The Spook Who Sat By The Door OSTLabel - UARReleased - 1973Style - Jazz, Funk, Breaks, Blaxploitation, Weird, Abstract, Soundtrack, Herbie!This one is really strange. When I copped this, some of the tracks sounded like they were recorded straight off a TV speaker or something. So I put the tracks through some audio processing to even out the levels, and now it sounds much better. Just an FYI if a couple of the tracks sound different... This soundtrack is just too cool not to clean up and share! Some of Herbie's best (and most obscure) work to date, in my opinion. I'm a freak for anything Herbie or Miles from the '69 to '78 period, so I couldn't pass this up. Hopefully others agree...(from Dusty Groove):A legendary soundtrack by the great Herbie Hancock -- super-rare, and super-dope, and super-funky! The film itself is a really righteous tale about a disenchanted Vietnam vet who infiltrates the CIA, learns its tricks, and uses them to start the coming revolutio...
