Apr. 13th, 2008 09:17 pmI accidentally watched the Grammys a couple months ago (too lazy to find the entry link so you can click back), and I remember when they announced album of the year and it was Herbie Hancock, I was like, for real? Wow. A jazz album? And that one? Granted, I hadn't heard it, but the idea sounded intriguing but possibly painful, and given that the grammys were recognizing it, and they aren't usually my marker for forward taste, well, I wasn't so sure, but I was terribly curious by the turn of events. So I wanted to hear the record.
Then I promptly forgot about it.
Today I downloaded it and I'm listening to it now, and its kind of amazing. If you are a fan of the Coltrane and Miles Davis standards (Kind of Blue, Giant Steps, Lush Life), or Dave Brubreck, Stan Getz, or Lester Young -- basically the more accessible jazz (I don't mean that as an insult), you should check out this album.
Ok, I feel like I'm a marketing blogger for Columbia Records or something. Sorry. Excuse me while I go back to watching 28 Weeks Later and probably scaring the beejesus out of me right before bed.
