Rockit Man

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Piano legend Herbie Hancock has a long history of combing jazz and popular music – from the '70s funk of his album "Head Hunters" to the '80s hip-hop of his single "Rockit." Today, he talks about upping the crossover ante, with a new CD featuring artists like Paul Simon, Sting, Steve Wonder, Santana and Christina Aguilera. Also: summer is not over just yet but it's not too soon to look back on the highlights of festival season. Indeed, summer festivals have been a rare growth area at a time when record sales are taking a nose dive and overall concert attendance has fallen. We'll ask you, the listener, to call in and share your own highlights of the season.
