Herbie Hancock: The Imagine Project

by Katrina Power – St. Mary’s High School, Calgary AB Jul 12, 2010

5 stars

Globetrotting jazz legend rallies artists together for peace, love and respect.

International barriers are transcended and cultural gaps are bridged by Herbie Hancock and his all-star lineup of guest vocalists in the award-winning pianist’s most ambitious project to date. The legendary jazz performer pursues worldwide harmony through global collaboration, with The Imagine Project featuring songs sung and recorded in the homelands of over a dozen featured musicians. Multilingual tracks are intersected with an exotic variety of instruments that give Hancock’s traditional piano music some punch, while the passionate vocals of the accompanying contemporary crooners breathe new life into iconic peace anthems like Imagine and The Times, They Are A Changin’. Popular artists such as P!nk, Seal, K’naan, John Legend and Dave Matthews lend their voices to the peaceful pursuit.
