 | This is from Rollingstones.com
HERBIE HANCOCK´s new album, Possibilities, is available for its worldwide premiere through Real Guide on Rollingstone.com for one week. The album, due August 30th, features collaborations with JOHN MAYER, JOSS STONE, STING, ANNIE LENNOX, TREY ANASTASIO, SANTANA and PAUL SIMON
Nothing more is written.
Collaboration could mean Paul is singin, is singin background, is playing a little bit guitar, has written a song, has written the rhythm guitar part, or has just brought some coffee during the recording sessions? ;-) |

"Next August 30 it is scheduled the release of Herbie Hancock´s album named Possibilities, where there is a rendition of I Do It For Your Love performed on duet by Paul Simon & Herbie Hancock. It sounds really interesting."
That´s what thedreamerofmusic.com says. I don´t understand where they get all that information though.
I read from a Damien Rice fan site eskimofriends.com that Rice is also going to be on that album. That´s really interesting, for I´m a big Damien Rice fan as well. |

| Christina Aguilera and Paul Simon named on the same album Cover - and just a few millimeters space between these names.
Who is that guy Herbie Hancock, and what weird mix of music does he prefer? :-)
I don´t know where they get the news, think they have ordered a lot of different newsletters from music companies - and find the time to read them. |

| I´m actually quite excited because I´ve always felt that the album version of I Do It For Your Love doesn´t do justice for the greatness of the song - live performances have been better. I also like Annie Lennox and even Santana, but buying an album with Christina Aguilera´s name on the cover is an odd thought.

It seems that you can listen to samples there.

This site has some record reviews and info about Herbie. I wasn´t familiar with the guy either.
"Herbie Hancock is certainly the best-known jazz pianist alive, and he may be the best, if there can be such a thing."
That sounds at least promising. |

 | Herbie Handcock had a hit here in France many years ago (I can´t remember the title : maybe some French fans here can !). It was quite "electronic" music, mixed with jazz. Not at all Paul´s style btw ! :-) |

| Hello!
Herbie Hancock is well known in the "Jazz world". I know some tunes from him that are more in the "Pop-Jazz-Style" as I would call that. I used to like that music a lot, people like David Sanborn or Bobby McFerrin an so on. I have to take a look on the Old LPs I guess, there must be something from that man too in my archives.

 | Never heard the name Herbie Hancock ? You must be really young Bodo !
His "Maiden Voyage" is one of my favorite records.
By the way, if you go to http://www.herbiehancock.com, I think you can listen to a sample of the song and read articles on the album. |

| Thank you, Ivalo!
I prefer Paul´s original, this one was good too though. The rest of the album also sounds fantastic, so I´m definitely going to be buying it. |

 | Hancock is born 1940 - I know his name, but not his music.
Before Rock and Roll there was:
1.)classical music as "serious".
2.)Blues/gospel as mostly by/for the black.
3.)Jazz (also country in the US)as popular music for the rest.
And the radio/record-business was much smaller due to technical reasons.
So no wonder that so many session-musicians come from jazz, they are best on their instruments and mostly cannot fill bigger places themselves. (Steve Gadd, Eric Gale and Richard Tee formed the New-York-jazz-group "Stuff" in the seventies).
Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, Carole King, James Taylor or Randy Newman preferred jazz-sessionmen, as did Paul Simon.
Sometimes it`s funny, if someone out of jazz has a really big hit as Bobby McFerrin had with "Don`t worry, be happy". They are marked for the rest of their musical life and surely it is not always pleasure! |

| Part of an interview with John Alagia, producer, musician, in the paper "MIX" August 1th 2005:
How did you get to work with Herbie Hancock and Paul Simon last week?
"I worked with Art Garfunkel on a Paul Simon track about a year-and-a-half ago. It was going to be on Simon`s "Hearts And Bones", but Paul didn`t feel like it quite made it. Paul thought I did a good job on it and invited me up to his house to listen to his new material he was working on with Brian Eno. I really don`t know how I ended up on the Herbie session, but was secretly hoping that Paul had something to do with it. Ends up that I`ve worked with a few other artists who share Herbie`s manager, so I went over to meet him at his house and ended up spending hours and hours with him, just listening to music and talking. We talked about technology and music, and he is such a fine man.
The track we did is for Herbie`s record, and because he`s touring and such a busy man, he asked me if I would produce it. We had a concept, and we were working on the charts in the hotel the night before we went into the studio. Paul came in a day early and he had some ideas. I could hardly believe it: here I was playing Paul`s guitar part with him singing, and Herbie on piano, Pino Palladino on bass, Steve Jordan on a champagne kit, and Jamey Haddad and Cyro Battista on percussion. It was a great little group of folks to have in the studio at the same time. Paul was talking about how a musician making music is similar to a preacher who is giving a sermon. Those few days in the studio were a remarkable time for me."-
The names of Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, David Byrne (Talking Heads, partly with Brian Eno) are oftenly linked (not with the new Simon-album, but in general), so we surely have to expect something new, but not totally unfamiliar and surley linked with "world music". Maybe a little bit more funky or experimental, like Phil Glass at the end of "Johnny Ace". |

| Thanks for this interview Klausi.
I´ll post it in the news as it includes some very interesting information - and will get lost in the forum between other less interesting postings - ok?
It´s nice to hear the name Cyro Battista again.
The first part of the interview is a little bit confusing...it sounds as if Art Garfunkel worked with John Alagia on Paul Simons new album :-) (Hey Paul listen, I have some nice poems for you which you could easely include into some songs for your new album...look ) :-) wuaaaah LOL |
