River The Joni Letters Herbie Hancock
A recommendation by jamiem
jamiem's recommendation
Already a Grammy winner, Herbie Hancock is back for more with his study of Joni Mitchell music. Featuring duets with Norah Jones, Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae and Joni Mitchell herself, this blues album is not to be missed. The Amazon.com exclusive version of Herbie Hancock's Grammy-nominated album features bonus tracks heard nowhere else.
UPDATE: A surprise win for Herbie Hancock at the Grammys! Go Herb!

Giants of jazz once again embrace the music of Joni Mitchell, this time under the cool couture styling of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Maybe the best Joni cover album so far, "River: The Joni Letters" is Grammy material featuring talent that is so high end that the atmosphere created on "River" could transform a cardboard box into a full-on luxury penthouse. Norah Jones, Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae, Luciana Souza, Sonya Kitchel, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell herself add vocal dimension to the sensual selections hand picked from joni's warm flowing body of work, the collaboration is so successful that I'm still in awe even after repeated listening, but as with all good things I do want more and hope that other giants will take on Joni and her songbook with the same verve, vision and grace.
