Herbie Hancock “Nefertiti” accompanied by Wayne Shorter—River: The Joni Letters, September 25, 2007.
“That's an amazing piece of music. Now, to jazzers, it's a very strange form. It's really—that's Wayne's composition. The melody is haunting and strange, you know, wonderful intervals. Even the starting note is an unusual starting note and the fact that it's kind of almost like a folk structure. It's not a standard structure like jazz is normally played around a longer melodic form, but this is like a verse, verse, verse, verse structure. And Wayne and Miles begin playing in unison fairly tightly but they begin to pull apart and phrase their own way and it's almost like a 50's silk screen, you know, where one color is laid a little offset over the next color of the printing. And in the meantime the free instrument on it is the drums, so you have Tony Williams just purring along—he's like—it reminds me of living in Soho as I did for a long time, you hear drunks like at four o'clock in the morning, you know, like really pissed off at God knows what, screaming at the sky and knocking over everything as they walk along, kicking garbage cans and, you know, it's just—it's just got that 'long walk from downtown to uptown in an angry state' to it. (Laughs.)”—Joni Mitchell, World Café interview, 1994.

Vinnie smoking while drumming is so in character, and the way he drops it into the ashtray without missing a beat. Dude's sense of rhythm is preternatural

Sting had a comeback and everything went quite smoothly from then on? This is Sting we are talking about as he complicated things again. While he could've solidified his comeback with a Disney movie, the latter's troubles derailed this path, though he seemed to be doing fine despite that. Sacred Love basically finds him accepting all his peculiarities of himself, but a lack of editor was noticeable again. You see, Sting has to be challenged in a way to make his work better, which might be one of the reason we continue to listen to The Police, i.e. the contrasting personalities there somehow brought the best of each other. Sacred Love didn't have anyone to be willing to step up to and that results in a polished affair, which does sound great, yet where are the surprises?

Chuck Loeb – In a Heartbeat
“Chuck Loeb’s guitar playing sparkles with energy on this jazzy album released by the Shanachie record label. The concept for the album came from Loeb’s contemplation of his own minor heart murmur and the rhythms of the human heartbeat. A deeply personal project, it features contributions from his family as well as musicians Mark Egan and Vinnie Colaiuta. Loeb is a talented guitarist, but, more importantly, this album offers up a fresh and bright sound, making it a joy to listen to.” – Stacia Proefrock/AllMusic.
