LENNY WHITE/BUSTER WILLIAMS/STEVE WILSON/GEORGE COLLIGAN

2008 release, domestic cd. Herbie Hancock is a musician-not a jazz musician, not a rock musician, not a rhythm and blues musician, not a pop musician, just a musician. Rarely does history contain a musician so consistently progressive and universally relevant-a musician who has effortlessly bent, breached, and reinvented genres for over half a century. Hancock, in fact, received his latest Grammy just this past February of 2008. Audiophile label Chesky Records' latest Hancock Island is a tribute to this icon of twentieth century music, featuring drummer Lenny White, bassist Buster Williams, pianist/keyboardist George Colligan, and saxophonist Steve Wilson. The quartet, no strangers to the Hancock catalog, puts a personal and tastful stamp on eight Herbie Hancock classics: "Cantelope Island", "Fat Albert Rotunda", "Butterfly", "Finger Painting", "Chameleon" "Rockit", "Watermelon Man", and "Maiden Voyage".
