Ahead of his time.......2006-08-29

As with most musical geniuses, they are often misunderstood by fellow musicians,and a society that can only began to comprehend their talents by a need to classify or stereo-tpye their music. This work defys classification. This is remenisant of the project:Qwest, headed by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton of Heatwave, Who recruit artist of the highest calibre, who are not afraid to sail beyond the safe boundries established by the music industy. i,e George Benson's "Give me the Night", Micheal Jackson's "Off the Wall" and The Brothers Johnson's Light up the Night", to name a few. No, you won't find traditional Herbie Hancock here. This is music for the mind, and body. My favorite tracks are, motor mouth, fun tracks, give it all your heart, and can't hide love. Now, if I can just get my hands on a copy!!

Nice R&B album from Hancock and Rod Temperton. Looks like Herbie was inspired from his sessions with Quincy Jones working on The Dude album. This is not a Jazz album although Herbie does some nice solo work on Give It All Your Heart. This album contains the stunning tune Getting To The Good Part, one of the best tunes of 1982. Lots of great stuff on this album, Patrice Rushen contributes lead vocals on Give It All Your Heart, Patti Austin does background vocals, Louis Johnson kills it on bass. Randy Jackson (American Idol judge) who is also an incredible bassist plays bass on Can't Hide Your Love. A great writing collaberation from Herbie and Rod. One of my favorite Herbie recordings

"Lite Me Up" is a collaberative project between Hancock and
Rod Temperton of Heatwave.Overall the album sounds like Heatwave's recent work (check out Herbie's playing on that bands
'Current' CD of the same vintage)and that is most notable on
"The Bomb","You Can't Hide Your Love" and "Motor Mout".Some of the other cuts are a bit poppy but there are a few clues that
Herbie is about to unleash "Rockit" the following year."Lite Me
Up" serves as a worthy goodbye to this tenative stage in Herbie's career and the end of his 70's funk sound.A follow up
to "Magic Windows" rather then a precusur to "Future Shock".

Class in it's genre.......2004-01-25

Two killer cuts on this 1982 release more than compensate for the weaker tracks. "Getting To The Good Part" is a true gem, the usage of horns and the instantly recognizable background vocals of Patti Austin gives it class. The bridge is superbly crafted too, making it the most memorable track.

The final track "Give It All Your Heart" featuring Patrice Rushen has an insistent hook that will gnaw at you for days and features some fine Hancock solo work.

Worth the money for these two tracks alone - the rest of the tracks are worthy pop/soul/disco numbers with "The Bomb" & "Motor Mouth" being the best of the bunch.

Cool Pop-jazz.......2003-10-01

This Cd is a good example of what Herbie Hancock did in the 80s - trying to fuse Pop with some Jazz, R&B and Funk. It's a cool recording, catchy tunes and some good solos by Herbie.
And that's what this Cd should be all about, I think!
No Jazz here! But Herbie was and is more than Jazz!
Respect for trying and doing this, Herbie!
