pdcmusic's SoundClick blog - Herbie Hancock - "River : the joni letters"
Herbie Hancock -
Found a short video on the making of Herbie's wonderful new album which he describes as "a tribute to his long time friend and associate Joni Mitchell" see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y8kZeJRvjM , which would definitely get my vote (if I had one) for the 'Album of the Year' Grammy. Made by Fast Focus TV, the promo features Larry Klein interviewing Herbie and shots of the musicians - Dave Holland, Wayne Shorter, Lionel Loueke & Vinnie Colaiuta - playing in the studio on the only track Joni herself sings (The Tea Leaf Prophecy), along with extracts from other tracks featuring wonderful vocal performances by Norah Jones (Court and Spark), Tina Turner (Edith and The Kingpin), Corinne Bailey-Rae (River) and Luciana Souza (Amelia), plus Leonard Cohen growling The Jungle Line. Brilliant stuff!!
