Over his nearly 50-year career Herbie Hancock has experimented with all kinds of genres, including classical, jazz, funk and hip-hop. Hancock can now add folk to the list. His latest record is River: The Joni Letters, and on it he finds a kindred spirit in the music of Joni Mitchell. Hancock tells Kurt that when he first met Mitchell in the late 1970s he was surprised by what he heard.

This was a most excellent interview. It's difficult to talk to Herbie about everything, but you did a better job than most of covering the current project and reviewing snapshots of an amazing career.
