What do Paul Simon, Pink, Dave Matthews, John Legend, and Christina Aguilera all have in common?

The celebrated jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock.

First of all, we can look back and see that crossing over into the pop/rock universe is certainly not new to Herbie Hancock.

His 1969 collaboration with Miles Davis on "In a Silent Way" will leave no doubt that the jazz keyboardist made sure many years ago that pop and jazz would play very nicely together when he was involved with it.

During the 1970s in particular, fusion (the combination of jazz and rock) was especially popular, and it was in this era that the artist received his own fusion success with the hit album "Head Hunters" released in 1973.

Fast-forward to the 21st Century, and we find that Hancock is still not afraid to embrace the pop/rock world.

In 2005, he created an impressive pop/world music work entitled "Possibilities", and in 2007 released the award winning collection called "River: The Joni Letters".

It was on these later works that the well-known keyboardist gathered up an impressive list of extremely talented pop/rock artists, and created works that were undeniably pop in nature. Still this was music which held to an artful, understated jazz vibe, and showcased his own brand of jazz piano virtuosity.

On "The Imagine Project" (2010), Herbie Hancock continues this pop/rock/world music mixed with jazz theme by again working with top-level rock and pop artists, and mixing them in with a bevy of accomplished musicians.

Produced by the bassist Larry Klein, "The Imagine Project" features a who's-who of celebrated international recording artists including Céu, Los Lobos, Dave Matthews, Lionel Loueke, John Legend, Pink, Juanes, Indie Arie, K'naan, The Cheiftains, and many more.

Traditionalists may have some negative things to say about this album because it strays away from the musician's earlier jazz works. But as a musical artist, Herbie Hancock has proved that he continues to embrace music as an art form, with all of its diversity.

With "The Imagine Project", Herbie Hancock shows us that it is still possible to create thoughtful and contemporary music as art - while embracing peaceful togetherness and global responsibility.

The Brasil Project $6.99 Personnel: Toots Thielemans (harmonica, guitar, whistle); Milton Nascinento, Chico Buarque (vocals); Djavan, Joao Bosco, Dori Cayammi, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Edu Lobo, Luis Bonfa (guitar, vocals); Lee Ritenour, Oscar Castro-Neves, Ricardo Silveira (guitar); Mark Isham (trumpet); Dave Grusin, Eliane Elias (piano); Gilson Peranzzetta, Mike Lang (keyboards); Ivan Lins (keyboards, vocals); Brian Bromberg, Jamil Joanes, Nico Assumpcao, Marc Johnson (bass); Teo Lima (drums); Cassio Duarte, Bira Hawai, Jose Roberto, Paulinho Da Costa (percussion).Producers: Miles Goodman, Oscar Castro-Neves. Recorded at Soundworks West, Village Recorders and Studio Ultimo, Los Angeles, California; RPM Recording and The Hit Factory, New York City; Som Livre, Rio De Janeiro, Brasil.This popular set matches the brilliant harmonica player Toots Thielemans with such top Brazilian performers as Ivan Lins, Djavan, Oscar Castro-Neves, Dori Caymmi, Ricardo Silveira, Joao Bosco, Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Luiz Bonf , Edu Lobo and Eliane Elias, in addition to bassist Brian Bromberg, keyboardist Michael Lang, trumpeter Mark Isham and Dave Grusin. Thielemans is often in a supportive role behind the many soothing Brazilian singers and performers. The atmospheric date surprisingly does not have any Antonio Carlos Jobim songs, instead emphasizing lesser-known tunes (other than Toots' greatest hit "Bluesette"). Easily recommended to fans of Brazilian pop and jazz, this CD was soon followed by a second (and equally rewarding) set featuring many of the same performers. ~ Scott Yanow
