Herbie Hancock - Possibilities.
This album is Herbie playing with others, and the style of each track becomes a combination of Herbie and the other musicians. I became interested in this album because I like jazz and Herbie Hancock. I could see many others liking this album for the other artists present, including Santana, John Mayer, and Christina Anguilera. I am not a Mayer fan, but I can't say I don't like his track on this album. Similarly, I would never buy an Anguilera album, since I don't like her songs. However, I do really like her voice, and the song she chose on this album works really well with her voice and Herbie's piano playing. The track also shows off the Sierra's quite well.
If you are a Herbie fan, please don't be turned off by some of the artists you might not be a fan of on this album. If you want good clean vocals combined with superb instrumentals to play on your new Ascends, check this one out. If you are unsure about Jazz because can't stand completely free form instrumental jamming, the songs and vocals will hold this one together for you. Basically, many different people can find many different things to like about this album.
