Hancock - Possibilities September 16, 2008
F. Mosner (Czech Republic)
Nice documentary movie from various recording sessions - each song has it's own stage :-) You have to know the cd before you can enjoy this DVD...

I was expecting a complete Music CD- only contained a few of the songs from the DVD. Very disappointed. Overall purchase was OK. Rating 3.5

I don't care if you're a musician, poet, photographer, painter or wash dishes for a living...We all Learn much more by listening to what makes an artist "thinks" and "shares" of his experiences in life and art. This dvd blew me away, and i found magic scattered all over the place. I LOVED listening just as much to Herbie's thoughts, as i did the music. What a rare pleasure it is, when someone like Hancock opens up the door to what's in that mind and heart, of a true American Icon. I Highly Recommend this Experience. I wish i could have given this amazing project a 100 stars.
Tremendous! January 8, 2008

It's Herbie, nuff said. Always cutting edge. Always art at the highest level. No cliches, nothing wasted, always swinging. One of the greatest living musicians on the planet!

Hancock's life and friends September 7, 2007

Herbie Hancock is a man who embraces all kinds of people and experiences, an explorer in many cultural and musical fields. This DVD is a good introduction to him and his life, featuring snippets from his early quartet years with legends Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter to his forays into electronic funk with the Headhunters to his most recent collaborations.
Some of these sessions are more successful than others, but all are interesting. Hancock performs with great stars like Annie Lennox, Carlos Santana, and Paul Simon, makes international connections with singers like Angelique Kidjo and composers like Brian Eno, and concludes with a trip to Japan where his spiritual side is revealed. The disc presents many enjoyable and insightful moments in the creative process.
I have to point out, however, that this film is primarily a making-of documentary. It doesn't present finished, polished work, serving instead as an invitation to listen to the Possibilities CD as well as to those recordings produced during Hancock's earlier incarnations. As such, I would say it's more of a DVD to rent than one you need to own, even if you are a big Hancock fan.
