When Herbie Met Joni

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

"River," the new album by pianist and composer Herbie Hancock, brings a jazz twist to the songs of Mitchell. It also features an a-list supporting cast including the folk singer-songwriter herself, as well as Norah Jones, Leonard Cohen and Tina Turner. Hancock joins us today. Also: The charmingly odd Nellie McKay is back with more jazzy cabaret pop on her album "Obligatory Villagers." She performs live in the studio.
