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!

you gotta see this.....it's amazing....i sent it to all my friends and they all raved.....fantastic studio footage.....great creativity.....it's like being in the studio with all these great people..........
