No, no no, Feb. 12). But many of us rejoice at Herbie Hancock's Album of the Year honor. The Joni Mitchell tribute, which includes music by Duke Ellington and Wayne Shorter, is a rewarding collection by an artist who has been groundbreaking and fearless for nearly 50 years. What a pleasure to see sales skyrocket within a day for a musician who avoids the self-aggrandizement and posturing so prevalent on the music landscape. Daly, who seldom mentions jazz except in a patronizing way, worries this award erodes the Grammy's credibility. I suggest that Hancock, Mitchell and the all-star cast on River are perpetually modern, and this surprising choice was a rare and welcome triumph of art over commerce.

But there is a new interview with Herbie Hancock on Tavis and it's very good. They both speak very highly of Joni and Herbie offers some new insight.. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71geVsNJkUQ Thanks Kev! Very cool interview. What is your favorite piece on the Joni Letters? Mine at present is The Jungle Line. The piano is so captivating and interesting weaved together with Cohen's deep voice.
