The epitome of a 20th Century musician, Herbie Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more. His ability to make valid individual statements in all these genres is part of what makes his compositions and performances so rich. So it doesn't seem at all incongrous for Hancock to interpret the work of George Gershwin, redefining much of the Gershwin canon in the process (with assistance from some world-class compatriots). Hancock's stated aim for GERSHWIN'S WORLD is to get inside the pieces, illustrating their essence rather than knocking off rote versions of these standards. Towards that end, "St. Louis Blues" is transmogrified by the soulful vocals and funky chromatic harmonica of Stevie Wonder; "It Ain't Necessarily So" becomes an ominous, angular jazz vamp, with saxmen James Carter and Kenny Garret trading arch, sly interjections. Another genre-buster, Joni Mitchell, makes a case for a potential career as a jazz vocalist via her performance on "The Man I Love" and "Summertime."
Personnel include: Herbie Hancock (piano, organ); Stevie Wonder (vocals, harmonica); Joni Mitchell, Kathleen Battle (vocals); Bakithi Kumalo (guitar, bass instrument); Marlon Graves (guitar, percussion); Charles Curtis (cello); James Carter , Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone); Eddie Henderson (trumpet); Chick Corea (piano); Ira Coleman, Alex Al (bass instrument); Terri Lyne Carrington (drums); Massamba Diop (talking drum); Madou Dembelle (djembe); Cyro Baptista, Bireyma Guiye, Cheik Mbaye (percussion); Robert Sadin (programming); Orpheus

in London, England, and Alexander Digital Suite in Miami, Florida.
Sarah Brightman is an example of the kind of artist that Duke Ellington would have described as "beyond category." Coming from a theatrical musical background, she combines the traditions of Broadway show-tunes (Andrew Lloyd-Webber's ex, she starred in his 'Phantom of the Opera,' among other things), opera, art song and pop to produce a fresh, unusual amalgam that is showcased to fine effect on TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. Brightman reaches into the Latin tradition here (she sings in Spanish on such tunes as 'Tu Quieres Volver,' offering a glimpse of yet another area of her talent. One of the brightest spots of the album is her duet with pop-classical crossover superstar Andrea Bocelli on the title song.
Recorded at EMI Abbey Road Studio No. 1, Angel Studio No. 1 and Nemo Studios
Personnel: Sarah Brightman, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Cura (vocals); Paul Bateman (conductor); London Symphony Orchestra.

Few composers, conductors or performers have had as dramatic affect on American music as Leonard Bernstein. A musical ambassador, he brought an appreciation of classical music to millions of new listeners while reviving the enthusiasm of traditional audiences. In his recordings, his passion for his work is palpable.
Beethoven's Second Symphony is a playground for Bernstein and his New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Full of joy and merry energy from its misleadingly formal opening to its amusing theme, the symphony is perhaps Beethoven's happiest composition.
Symphony No. 7 is more regal in stature, but also imbued with Bernstein's spirited nature. The Allegretto which has become synonymous with the piece, dirge-like in so many interpretations, is a lively and inspiring experience.
Bernstein has already left his mark on contemporary audiences and performers alike. In Sony's series of Bernstein re-releases, listeners can experience the man himself.
