Description:
The ageless keyboardist-composer Herbie Hancock, who's played with everybody from Miles Davis to Quincy Jones, lets loose in a jazzy performance recorded live at Black Entertainment Television's Studio II in Washington, D.C. Backed by a quicksilver combo featuring drummer Teri Lynne Carrington, Hancock and his intricate pianisms dust off well-worn standards like George Gershwin's "Fascinatin' Rhythm," W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues," and James P. Johnson's "Blueberry Pie" with new post-bop, world music seasonings. Hancock was a mainstay on the legendary Blue Note record label in the '60s, where he released two of his biggest jazz hits, "Cantaloupe Island" and "Maiden Voyage." Those two tunes are redone in this scintillating set with a welcome melodic freshness that shows that Hancock still has what it takes. --Eugene Holley Jr.
