The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Herbie Hancock has released him CD entitled Inventions and Dimensions. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Herbie Hancock fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Inventions and Dimensions Herbie Hancock’s artistic excellence is on full display as Hancock has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Jazz isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

I’m of the opinion that Inventions and Dimensions is certainly Herbie Hancock’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Jazz fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - Jack Rabbit, track 5 - A Jump Ahead, and track 6 - Mimosa

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Succotash. It’s a great track!
