Starbucks can take a lot of the blame for that.... Ron Sexsmith says it well in his song "Jazz at the Bookstore" |

I'd like to believe this, but I saw Herbie and his band in concert this summer and he has not one, but two below average musicians in his touring band. His guitar player isn't bad, he just spends way too much time playing off key and making animal sounds instead of actually playing. And the violinist? Horrible is the nicest word I can I can associate with her "performance".
One of the few disappointing concerts that I have seen.
I saw Herbie Hancock at The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1994 and he BLEW! |

Agreed. at least in the past, Bob was a WILDMAN with Joe Rockhead. I'm talkin' jumping up and down on the bar, howling, wailing, the whole shebang. |

I'm joking with ya. It's a cool tune. But I really would like to know what the muffled noise is. The Possibilities are Herbie Hancock getting Stitched Up with John Mayer ? |
