Man... I had to pause the show from excitement to rush in an write a review!
2) DVD DVD The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) by Image Entertainment. This DVD may be good to listen to as a movie soundtrack or to go to sleep by, but watching it is kind of boring. The musicians are great - the music gets a little boring. You can tell the people are trying to get off - nursing their glasses of water - and trying to act enthusiastic. The camera keeps trying to catch some audience interplay and enthusiasm but there is almost none. Music like this is sophisticated and beautiful - but let´s be honest - it does not get people off. The most enthusiastic applause came when the set was over.
3) DVD DVD The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) by Image Entertainment. Credits should be as follows: Herbie Hancock - Piano I think that´s right :) A great DVD with a few mixing problems with the bass and drums at times. But otherwise a no nonsense straight forward concert.¤ 4) DVD DVD The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) by Image Entertainment. I really do enjoy this DVD but when comparing to Herbie´s other releases certain faults become glaring. First of all the overall sound and video production is no where near as good as Herbie´s Future 2 Future Live DVD, then again that is probably the best overall production I have ever seen and heard. In this Jazz Channel DVD the drums are a little muffled and the acoustic bass is almost completely missing from the mix. The band on the whole also seems a little "loose" on the form of a couple of tunes and one gets the impression they haven´t been playing as a unit for very long. My last gripe about the DVD is that no where on the back cover or anywhere in the "credits" is there a list of the amazing musicians playing with Herbie. Of course you can find out who the executive producer is but who´s playing bass? Who´s on the trumpet? The sax? To me that is a list of people who should be at the top of the credits... the people playing the music!¤ 5) DVD DVD The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) by Image Entertainment. got to see this Concert when it aired&also wanted to have it again.Herbie Hancock just brings so much to the way you hear&feel the richness of a Piano.Herbie Hancock truly has done some incredible things in His Long vast career.this set showcases His Genius&vibe.enjoy.¤ 6) DVD DVD The Jazz Channel Presents Herbie Hancock (BET on Jazz) by Image Entertainment.

The ageless keyboardist-composer Herbie Hancock, who´s played with everybody from Miles Davis to Quincy Jones, lets loose in a jazzy performance recorded live at Black Entertainment Television´s Studio II in Washington, D.C. Backed by a quicksilver combo featuring drummer Teri Lynne Carrington, Hancock and his intricate pianisms dust off well-worn standards like George Gershwin´s "Fascinatin´ Rhythm," W.C. Handy´s "St. Louis Blues," and James P. Johnson´s "Blueberry Pie" with new post-bop, world music seasonings. Hancock was a mainstay on the legendary Blue Note record label in the ´60s, where he released two of his biggest jazz hits, "Cantaloupe Island" and "Maiden Voyage." Those two tunes are redone in this scintillating set with a welcome melodic freshness that shows that Hancock still has what it takes. --Eugene Holley Jr.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
