Herbie Hancock Box, The - Herbie Hancock

Hancock delivers once again

Advantages: Bonus tracks, intimate recording
Disadvantages: Not the greatest sound quality

Herbie Hancock has been making high quality CD?s over the last 4 decades and this CD is no exception. 'The Piano' is a stunning album which features Hancock on his own at the piano.

Review of Hancock (DVD)

Super Hancock!

Advantages: fast paced action filled comedy
Disadvantages: ending & special effects

in his endeavour to undertake more serious dramatic roles in his last two projects.
