A leader of musical innovation, Herbie explores the creation of fresh music through collaboration and expansion upon his and others' experiences, and what results is a collection of poignant music imprints.

2.0 out of 5 stars not full CD, September 1, 2011

This review is from: Herbie Hancock : Possibilities (DVD / CD) (DVD)

i watched this movie through netflix's online streaming capabilities several months ago. i absolutely fell in love with Lisa Hannigan's music because of this movie. the movie itself is worth a watch especially if you're into pop music. i'm not much of a pop fan myself and watched mostly because i respect Herbie Hancock as a jazz pianist. it really pretty neat to see modern musicians take on some of these songs and use their talents in a different genre. the movie itself i would give 4 stars. my problem with this set is that the CD that comes with it isn't the Possibilities CD. it's only a rough mix of 4 songs. the price when i bought it was pretty cheap and my thought process going in was, "i'll pay this much just to have a CD quality version of Billie Holiday's 'Don't Explain' (performed by Herbie Hancock, Damien Rice, and Lisa Hannigan.) and the DVD will be a bonus." but the CD doesn't have the song and i don't really want to buy the Possibilities CD for one song. i didn't pay that much and so i don't really feel like i was ripped off, but to advertise this set as "Herbie Hancock: Possibilities DVD/CD" is very misleading. thus 2 stars.

i just ordered two more of these. i don't have anyone specific in mind but i watched the dvd last night and i'm sure they will be great gifts to someone. i have not listened to the included cd but i have the cd "possibilities" so i knew how good it was. the dvd alone is worth the less than $4. don't be afraid. it's the real deal and a very good how the album (i'm old) was made dvd with outstanding musicians. i have mine now so i'll share this. how long can this deal last!
