I caught Herbie Hancock in Montreux, Switzerland last week at the Stravinski Auditorium. Presently in the studio laying down tracks for his next LP, Hancock was briefly in town supporting the festival's 50th anniversary. Assisted by the trio currently backing him on his forthcoming record, the evening kicked off with an opening overture teasing the forthcoming set. It was, in a word, funky.
Clocking in at an hour, the set was tight and heavy on Headhunters-era Hancock -- see: "Chameleon" > . . .
