Album Review

Herbie Hancock's star-studded The Imagine Project was several years in the making, and recorded in seven countries with musicians from all over the globe. Most selections are interpretations of well-known pop, folk, and soul songs. The best things here are indeed fine. There's a gorgeous reading of Baden Powell's “Tempo de Amore” thanks to Lucas Martins' bassline and CéU's singing. “Space Captain” by the Derek Trucks-Susan Tedeschi Band —with Hancock and Colaiuta — brings out a much-needed, soulful grit in Tedeschi's vocals, gospelized four-party harmony, and tough slide playing by Trucks. A full-on Indian session band interacts with Shorter's knotty soprano sax, and the only truly engaged Hancock piano playing on the set.

Customer Reviews

WOW!

What a fantastic album! The inclusion of Pink, Jeff Beck, John Legend and many other adds so much depth to these covers. Sublime and etheral vocals blend well with Herbie's arrangements. A great album with a good variety of tracks. A truly international flavour, promoting peace and harmony...

What an album

I was a first time Herbie Hancock listener after a recommendation to listen to Don't Give Up and it was this song that convinced me to buy the album. Herbie is unbelievable and I am absolutely in love with this album.

Herbie is cool

I always yawn at covers but Hancock makes them cool and makes them his own. To add to the coolness, he's got the talents of Pink, Seal, Ceu, Johnny Legend and the likes. Top notch arrangements and a pleasure to listen too when cruising through life!

Herbie Hancock will always be one of the most revered and controversial figures in jazz — just as his employer/mentor Miles Davis was when he was alive. Unlike Miles, who pressed ahead relentlessly and never looked back until near the very end, Hancock has cut a zigzagging forward path, shuttling between almost every development in electronic and acoustic jazz and R&B over the last third of the 20th century and into the 21st. Though grounded in Bill Evans and able to absorb blues, funk,...
