Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters

The legendary pianist and innovator Herbie Hancock explores the words and music of another musical pioneer Joni Mitchell on his first studio recording for Verve Records since his 1998's GRAMMY Award winner Gershwin's World. Inspired in equal parts by Mitchell's poetic lyrics and unique melodies/harmonies, the musicians play with a restraint and elegance that achieves a perfect balance between the adventurous aesthetics of jazz improvisation and the emotional directness of one of the finest singer/songwriters of the last five decades.

Only the second jazz album ever to win the prestigious 'Album Of The Year' GRAMMY in 2008.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Verve Records in 2017. Made in Czech Republic. US Import.
