Title: what's the point?
Review: I have adored Herbie Hancock since I was 16. My fascination with his Headhunters later lead me to "Maiden Voyage" and his other Blue Note productions as well as his contribution within Miles' quintet. So, you can tell I have been a devoted follower. This latest release buffles me. What was the point of Herbie's doodling on the piano behind the "top of the pops" list of characters? I do like Annie Lennox, Sting, Santana but they and Mr. Hancock don't make a good match. I am aware of continuous popular music influence on jazz (best ballads are made of brodway tunes) but this cd does not attempt to interpret, expand or do anything interesting with the material. Someone, please tell me what was the point?
