Release Notes:
Possibilities by jazz piano/keyboard legend Herbie Hancock, with songs by Stevie
Wonder, Paul Simon, and Leon Russell, is a multigenerational masterpiece. Rock's
"it boy" John Mayer leads off the CD with the spare, bouncy opener, "Stitched
Up." Brit-born soul girl Joss Stone and bluesman Johnny Long get down on the
gutbucket "When Love Comes to Town." Christina AguileraÆs excellent vocals
illuminate "A Song for You." Not to be outdone, Annie Lennox delivers an
operatic take on Holly Cole's "Hush, Hush, Hush," while Sting's "Sister Moon"
swings with stealthy syncopations. Santana and the Beninese singer Angelique
Kidjo provide the world flavor on "Safiotou," and the dreamy "Gelo No Montana,"
with ex-Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, is the lone instrumental. Hancock's
tight solos and intelligent orchestral synths radiate all of the tracks. Like
Frank Sinatra's Duets and Ray Charles's Genius Loves Company, Possibilities
introduces Hancock to a new and awestruck generation.
