Album Notes Personnel include: Herbie Hancock (piano, organ, keyboards); John Mayer , Paul Simon, Raul Midon, Trey Anastasio (vocals, guitar); Johnny Lang (vocals, electric guitar); Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Angelique Kidjo, Annie Lennox, Sting (vocals); Tony Remy, Carlos Santana (guitar); Stevie Wonder (harmonica); Greg Phillinganes, Michael Bearden (keyboards); John Patitucci, Nathan East, Willie Weeks (bass instrument); Dennis Chambers, Steve Jordan (drums). Recording information: Stagg Street Studio, Van Nuys, CA; Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California; The Barn, Burlington, VT. Though Herbie Hancock is known first and foremost as the groundbreaking jazz pianist whose career began in earnest with Miles Davis's band in the 1960s, he's been genre-bending for much of his musical life, from his '70s fusion adventures to his '80s hip-hop crossover. So those who cynically accuse Hancock of following Carlos Santana onto the superstar-duets gravy train with POSSIBILITIES may not be taking the long view. Having penned some of the most enduring jazz standards and worked with the music's most towering figures, Hancock is long past needing to prove his jazz credentials, and his collaborations here with Sting, Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder, and others must be taken at face value. Always one to work a groove into whatever he's doing, Hancock dips into R&B with newcomer Raul Midon on a hopped-up version of Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and darts and stings behind Christina Aguilera on Leon Russell's "A Song for You." He detours into blues with Jonny Lang, touches on straight pop-rock with Jon Mayer (on the infectious opener, "Stitched Up)," and delves into instrumental impressionism with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio to end the album, with "Gelo No Montana." Despite some sterling solos, at no point on his album does Hancock hog the spotlight, proving that, as ever, his musical vision transcends both ego and boundaries.

This cd does not come with the DVD. Only 4 of these songs come on the cd with the dvd. The DVD is great, too!! Review ID: 10000000006679715 Was this review helpful? Report this review New Huge FanI bought this for the sole purpose of listening to John Mayer's song and instantly became a life long friend of Herby Hancock. I heard he was good, but I had no idea he was that good. Review ID: 10000000006653790 Was this review helpful? Report this review Good for variety of performersReview created: 02/24/08 by: This doesn't feature Herbie Hancock, it features the other performers with support from Herbie. I bought it for the variety and am well satisfied. There is a video out showing the making of this album and I enjoyed that enough to buy it and knew what to expect.
