Q (11/94, p.140) - 3 Stars - Good - "...with it's come-on-down piano, Freddie Hubbard's steel-blue trumpet and the hustle and stutter of Tony William's drumming...[it's] full of the pianist's genius for nourishing jazz spontaneity in pop formats..."
One of the most open-eared and forward-thinking jazz musicians of his day, Hancock has, more than just about anyone else, consistently tried to broaden the music's horizons by mixing it with the most interesting elements of contemporary pop. Hancock has consistently pushed the envelope, from his earliest days with Miles Davis to his jazz-rock fusion of the early '70s and his early embrace of synthesizers and electronic instruments, his early-'80s experiments with hip-hop and sampling, or more recently, his acoustic piano reinterpretations of songs--the new standards, in his parlance--by everyone from Don Henley to Nirvana.
