Free Music Notes for River: The Joni Letters (with Bonus Tracks) - Amazon.com Exclusive
Free Music Review: I saw this on the Grammys
Hit: 4 Stars
I had never heard about this CD---prior to the Grammys...but when I saw it announced as the winner --I RAN to AMAZON to get it. I have been a life long Joni Mitchell fan.....and Herbie though not 100 % a fan--I appreciated him as a artist that he is.
This album embodies Joni !! It is soulfull....sad....playful...lyrical...dipping and swaying ......all done by others...but in her style...all the way.
I came to it...I saw it...I bought it..and it is a worthy piece in my library !

As a longtime fan of Herbie Hannock it was so satisfying to see that this recent collection dedicated to Joni Mitchell not only excels in content but was recognized as the Jazz album of the year at the recent Grammy Awards. BravoFree Music Review: Not one bit disappointed
Hit: 5 Stars
I've loved Joni Mitchell's music for years. Herbie Hancock's "River" was quite a rush. I loved it.
Free Music Review: Herbie & Joni's Triumph
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording by Herbie, though not flashy, is probably the best thing that he's ever done, and never has a recording been more deserving of Record of The Year. Of course, it would not have been possible without the
brilliant songwriting of Joni Mitchell, who makes an appearance here on one of her songs. Herbie and his fellow musicians never get lost in the stratosphere. Their intepretations of Joni's music flows like the songs, and yes, like a river. For me the highlight is A Case of You, which I have always felt is Joni's masterpiece, both vocally and as a songwriter.
Listening to Herbie, I hear nuances that I have never picked up on before.
Free Music Review: Herbie does Joni
Hit: 5 Stars
Herbie Hancock is one of the reigning kings of contemporary music and this again shows why he is the ruler. He takes on another great artist's work and takes it to another level. Due to the respect he has earned and his prowess on piano, a great group of singers signed up to help him do this including Joni Mitchell herself. Tina Turner is captivating here. He also throws in a new version of Ellington's "Solitude" to add to this great album. What a magnificent choice !! He surely deserved the Grammy award for this, and he has again, defied logic in his work, as he has always sought to do. Another fine album to go with Watermelon Man, Headhunters, Maiden Voyage, and so many other projects he has produced over the years.
