Herbie Hancock: River: The Joni Letters

Read "River: The Joni Letters" reviewed by George Kanzler


The participation of such former and present Grammy nominees and winners as Norah Jones, Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae, Luciana Souza and Leonard Cohen (reading “The Jungle Line" like a beat poet), as well as the iconic stature of Joni Mitchell herself, may have immeasurably helped in winning this CD the Grammy Album of the Year award.

No one could have planned the album that became Corinne Bailey Rae's sophomore work, even though the determined young Brit tried mightily to impose her vision on The Sea. Life, and death, however, intervened. Rae, who'll showcase the album on a five-week North American tour beginning Tuesday in Los Angeles, says she wanted “a heavier, more aggressive, more dynamic record that would have more contrast" than her self-titled 2006 debut album. “I wanted to co-produce it, I wanted to record ...
