Thursday March 20, 2008 - Herbie Hancock performed in front of 300 fans in LA for the Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music series. Joni Mitchell joined Herbie on stage to perform several songs from his new album, River: The Joni Letters. The night also included performances of classics hits.
The audience was lucky enough to see a superb group of musicians (including LA fixture and drumming sensation Vinnie Colaiuta) collaborating with special guests DJ C-Minus, up-and-comer Sonya Kitchell, and a very rare appearance by Joni Mitchell.
The band performed some of Herbie's greatest hits, including "Rock It", "Watermelon Man", and some mesmerizing performances with Joni Mitchell singing tunes from Herbie's latest album, River: the Joni Letters. This album has the distinction of being the second jazz album to ever win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year (beating out Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, and the Foo Fighters). 30 minutes video
