Editorial Review:
Imagine the possibilities…..
"Possibilities" is the musical event of the year. The album is a series of inspired encounters between Herbie Hancock and world-renowned musicians – including John Mayer, Sting, Trey Anastasio, Annie Lennox, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan, Santana and Angelique Kidjo, Paul Simon, Christina Aguilera, Jonny Lang, Joss Stone, and Raul Midon. Herbie Hancock describes "Possibilities" this way: "This is a real collaboration that we’re doing here. It’s all been decided at the session, a record without borders, woven like a tapestry with many colors. The possibilities are endless"
Description of Possibilities:
Possibilities, by jazz piano/keyboard legend Herbie Hancock, with songs by Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Leon Russell, is a multigenerational masterpiece. Rock's "it boy" John Mayer leads off the CD with the spare, bouncy opener, "Stitched Up." Brit-born soul girl Joss Stone and bluesman Jonny Lang get down on the gutbucket "When Love Comes to Town." Christina Aguilera’s excellent vocals illuminate "A Song for You." Not to be outdone, Annie Lennox delivers an operatic take on Holly Cole’s "Hush, Hush, Hush," while Sting's "Sister Moon" swings with stealthy syncopations. Santana and the Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo provide the world flavor on "Safiotou," and the dreamy "Gelo No Montana," with ex-Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, is the lone instrumental. Hancock’s tight solos and intelligent orchestral synths radiate all of the tracks. Like Frank Sinatra’s Duets and Ray Charles’s Genius Loves Company, Possibilities introduces Hancock to a new and awestruck generation. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Possibilities Reviews:
Not What I was Expecting 
2009-11-04 - I bought this album after hearing the first track, "Stitched Up" with John Mayer. I like Herbie Hancock in general so when I read that the rest of the album was him playing with a different guest on each track, I decided I would probably like the whole album. Unfortunately, the rest of the tracks are the sort of boring elevator-music-like jazz that I hate.
That first track is still very good though.
Great Value! 
2009-10-19 - Wow! $.01 for a like new CD, (would not believe the CD was not new if I had not known)! I am very satisfied and have shared the story with others. A great value and excellent choice!
Excellent

2009-05-17 - This is just great music. I saw the television program on PBS and loved it. I had to have the CD!
soundchaser
2009-04-08 - Hey editorial review guy.The best song on the album is Annie Lennox performing "Hush,Hush,Hush" and it's buy the very under rated "PAULA" Cole, Not Holly Cole whoever that is.I would hope amazon screens the editorial reviews before they print them!!
