After his huge Grammy win for River: The Joni Letters, Herbie Hancock has teamed up once again with the woman who inspired his Album of the Year. Jazz and folk reunited when Hancock and Mitchell performed last week for Yahoo!’s Nissan Live Sets. (Such pop artists as Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5, and Lenny Kravitz have also delivered intimate gigs on Yahoo!’s custom-built stage on Los Angeles’ Twentieth-Century Fox lot.)
During the two-and-a-half-hour show, Mitchell showcased three of her songs — “River,” “Tea Leaf Prophesy,” and “Hana” — while Hancock, backed by a top-notch band, brought out the funk with classics like “Chameleon” and “Watermelon Man,” and resurrected his own crossover hit, “Rock It” — much to the crowd’s delight (see full set list after the jump). The performance will debut on Yahoo! Music on April 1.

Can PopWatch please refrain from mentioning Mr. Hancock for at least another few months? Some of us are still incredibly upset over having stayed up all the way until 11:30pm on a Sunday to see him steal the Album of the Year Grammy from Kanye or Amy for a damn cover album! I just need more time to forgive!
hi
Poor Ray ..
He doesn’t know quality when he hears it..
Or maybe he hasn’t heard it more likely
Amy won enough stuff
HH & JM deserve all the accolades they get
Just because someone has been branded a “legend” doesn’t mean they deserve to win over newcomers who are revolutionizing music today. The 2008 Grammys exist to honor the best in music of the previous year, not the best in music of 1974 covered in one of those tired “guest collaborator” packages. Herbie won because Amy is 24, Kanye is 30, and Herbie is pushing 70, and the agist, crotchety, octagenarian voters (you know, your generation) wanted to give him a record sales boost. Social Security checks just don’t cut it anymore.

Ignorance is amazing. If you are talking about Amy Winehouse, who I love and greatly respect, you must realize that mainly what she does are covers interpreted in her own way, which no doubt resonates with you because you are probably of similar age. Kanye is wonderfully talented but if you don’t think he is derivative (we all are) you need to do a lot more listening.
We are blessed that two greats got together, that Herbie lured Joannie out of her typical isolation, and made a GREAT album that reinterprets some of her music, which was some of the BEST to come of out of her era.
Also you want to honor the greats before they kick the bucket, but this is no sympathy vote. A canny decision by the Grammy folks, not to bow to popular pressure.
