Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Imagine the possibilities…..

'Possibilities' is the musical event of the year. The album is a series of inspired encounters between Herbie Hancock and world-renowned musicians – including John Mayer, Sting, Trey Anastasio, Annie Lennox, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan, Santana and Angelique Kidjo, Paul Simon, Christina Aguilera, Jonny Lang, Joss Stone, and Raul Midon. Herbie Hancock describes 'Possibilities' this way: 'This is a real collaboration that we’re doing here. It’s all been decided at the session, a record without borders, woven like a tapestry with many colors. The possibilities are endless'

Amazon.com:
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 Jonny Lang get down on the gutbucket 'When Love Comes to Town.' Christina Aguilera’s 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. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Rating: - * Wow ... Yet another pleasant surprise from HH. For those who truely enjoy LISTENING to music. Rating: - * YES, Herbie; Anything's Possible ... Not to overstate it, but this is a fantastic release. Maybe diehard fans might balk but as a musician the artistry shown here is exquisite. I was turned on to "Possibilities" by the Cable/DVD video documentary chronicling the making of this recording. A very popular production tool these days, letting top musical performers invite other artists to join in the making of a new album by contributing diverse talents, unique styles, etc. creating new and exciting sounds. Will definitely recommend to friends and fellow musicians! Rating: - * Herbie Hancock's \"Possibilities\" CD ... This is one clean recording! Herbie chose special artists which added a unique touch to the different types of music recorded. Definitely a CD to treasure.... :>) Rating: - * Herbie Hancock-Possibilities ... this cd is fantastic, this cd might of been put out in 2006 but when I seen the Documentary on this I could not wait to get it & it has been truly a reward...EXCELLENT!!!!
