Herbie Hancock Possibilities Jazz Music CD Review

Submitted by: isolvum

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Herbie Hancock has released him CD entitled Possibilities. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Herbie Hancock fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Possibilities Herbie Hancock's artistic excellence is on full display as Hancock has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Possibilities. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Herbie Hancock possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.

If you're a Herbie Hancock fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of Hancock, or even Jazz to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - A Song For You, track 5 - Hush, Hush, Hush, and track 9 - I Just Called To Say I Love You.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7 - When Love Comes To Town. This is a great track!
