- good but not great
I am a fan of HH having over 3000 discs of jazz/classical in my collection ... Hancock deserved the award but not for this project....it should be considered a life achievement award and let it go at that. A few things bothered me...The lack of liner notes/information ...Why these particular songs?How were the pieces and singers selected...did the singers select the pieces or were they assigned the song to perform?Also there are no lyrics listed...no information as to where/when in Joni's long career these pieces were composed. Of the 10 panels included in the disc that could have contained the lyrics and other pertinent information (and perhaps a small photo of Joni) we have instead 5 photos of Hancock....A hymn to him.....
The disc is ok...pleasant music that will go into my play rotation from time to time but not a project worthy of a Grammy.

- Hancock River
Not swept away by this effort. I think it was probably true that Kanye West and Amy Winehouse split the vote for Best Album and this squeaked in. I was hoping for more melodic musings. I'm a great Joni M. fan. I'd just as soon listen to the original Court and Spark again.

- Smooth and sweet!
Don't miss out on this fabulous compilation. Magnificent Hancock, smooth vocals by his chosen guests. Just perfect with a rich cup of coffee on a lazy weekend morning.
Rating: - The grammy's got it Right
Any jazz album that is voted the "Best Contemporary Jazz Album" is worth your attention
Herbie Hancock is always a good listen.
Rating: - special
I have always liked Herbie Hancock. This pairing with Joni Mitchell is very fine. Beautiful music, creative and enriching.
