Released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of George Gershwin’s birth, this disc features jazzman Hancock with a classy collection of special guests. The most surprising of Hancock’s guest stars is Joni Mitchell, who delivers a gorgeously sensual vocal on “The Man I Love,” then provides an airy, worldly take on “Summertime.” On these two tracks, she shows she has come a long way from her folksinger beginnings to become a first-class jazz singer in her own right. Stevie Wonder’s unmistakable harmonica complements Mitchell’s singing on “Summertime” and shares lead instrument space with his own voice on the W.C. Handy classic “St. Louis Blues.” Jazzman extraordinaire Wayne Shorter smokes a solo spot on Duke Ellington’s “Cotton Tail” and carves out some space for his soprano saxophone in the midst of “Summertime.” A number of the young lions of jazz are featured on various cuts, and Herbie’s old pal Chick Corea joins the leader for a piano duet of James P. Johnson’s “Blueberry Rhyme.” Gershwin’s wonderful, extended “Lullaby” finds Hancock teamed with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, as does an attractive arrangement of a “Concerto for Piano and Orchestra” by Maurice Ravel, whose jazz influence can be heard on the piece. In addition, one of the most beautiful tracks on the album places star soprano Kathleen Battle’s voice at the forefront of Gershwin’s own “Prelude in C# Minor.” Yet with all the fine performances by his guests, Gershwin’s World remains Hancock’s show, and he plays magnificently throughout. From beautiful to funky, percussive to melodic, improvisational to tightly arranged, Hancock and cohorts take a wondrous journey through the music and world of Gershwin. • Originally released in 1998 only on CD • • From the original master • • Lacquer cutting by SST Brüggemann GmbH in Germany • • 180g vinyl pressing by Pallas GmbH in Germany • • Project designed & sleeve made by Khiov in Korea • – ARTISTS Alex Al: bass / Cyro Baptista: percussion / Kathleen Battle: soprano Terri Lyne Carrington: drums / James Carter: soprano & tenor saxophone / Ira Coleman: bass Chick Corea: piano / Charles Curtis: cello / Madou Dembelle: djembé Massamba Diop: talking drum / Kenny Garrett: alto saxophone / Marlon Graves: guitar Bireyma Guiye: percussion / Herbie Hancock: piano & organ / Eddie Henderson: trumpet Bakithi Kumalo: bass & guitar / Cheik Mbaye: percussion / Joni Mitchell: vocal Orpheus Chamber Orchestra / Robert Sadin: percussion programming Wayne Shorter: soprano & tenor saxophone / Stevie Wonder: harmonica & vocal Artist Herbie Hancock Genre Jazz Label Universal Play 33 1/3 Series Buying Options 180g 2LP Format 180g , 2LP Condition New Country Korea Republic of (south) Track Listings Side 1 1.
