Just got the DVD in today, watched & listened to the first three performances (cause these are much more than just ´songs´) and I am completely blown away!
The level of musical geniousness onstage is mind boggling! From the woman on drums to the wild show-stopping percussionist Herbie Hancock went above and beyond the normal realms of listening to jazz.
You can tell there is some improv throughout the show but it´s so tight it might as well have been written and rehearsed a thousand times...these musicians ARE what they play!
Don´t pass this one up, jazz lovers and musicians of all instruments need to see and hear what Hancock has cooked up this time around.
Baby, it´s gonna be ´Your New Cool Thing´. Guaranteed.
Now I gotta get back to the show!
