Sting and Herbie Hancock - from ‘Possibilities’ (2005)

[@gcgjohnson]

Herbie, "you were killing it. I've never heard you sing like that." Sting, "me neither." 🙂

[@kenholley3272]

Never saw STING so raptured by the music. EXCELLENT

[@DrBe-zn5fv]

best i ever heard Sting. Musicians perfect for him

[@ivellbullock199]

I'm surprised to see bassist John Pattituci in this video with Sting and Herbie Hancock. Awesome!!!

[@ivellbullock199]

I have the CD Possibilities. That's the best track I've ever heard.

[@Rien530]

Idem !

[@stickyfingers2413]

Herbie just so experienced.. the juice just flows from his fingers

[@hughmongasass3773]

it is in his veins actually

[@STEVEFINNERTY]

@@hughmongasass3773 this is true though the original was a better piece ! id rather they wrote a song with these ace musicians .

[@peopleunite78]

Herbie always been in a class all by himself...a salute to a genius !!!

One of my favorite tunes from this album Herbie! Good Stuff

[@aleethelfa9880]

HERBIE HANCOCK is just an amazing Musician and he does it so creatively .…so much can be done with music with the right mixtures..the Musicians are amazing.

[@w1o2l3f4i5e]

Sting’s voice is amazing. I am going to search this CD out.

[@hereef1]

Sister Moon. Love this music and song. Bravo.

This is genius work by Lionel Loueke, and you can feel Monk's influence in the syncopation. Sting channeling Nina Simone, in the beginning. This is some serious jazz.

[@Rangoslap8]

Copy from geniuses....no one cares to remember when you get it right....

[@Rangoslap8]

Funny they want all people of color accomplish, music, art, hair, body shape , skin color, inventions, from stop light to brain surgery, blood transfusions etc but the people of color will never be equal in power, money ,inheritance or anything else that matters as long People refuse to publically see, admit, apologize , repent, Make whole as far as possible. 1565 slavery hit Florida....1565...

[@anicetjoy5456]

Nice. Lionel LOUEKE from Benin 🇧🇯, we are proud of you. I hope you will bring the boss Herbie to Benin, just for a week so we can learn from him as well.

[@Varchesis]

That was amazing. Such heat in the rhythm!

[@miles-178]

John Patitucci and Steve Jordan !!!!! that says it all!!!!

The kind of man able to blend their talents well. What a gift

[@LeandroBulacio]

gracias hegberto por existir. en un momento de la musica vos lo llevabas solo, como un gran guia

[@gustabartok]

Amazing version! Great Sting singing and feeling, just great. Amazing combo, everyone outstanding, Herbie , Jordan, everyone.. Sting come in and asks *well, am I playing bass today?" Herbie:" well, we have Johnny here" Sting: "oh"

[@delamerressac1067]

I love Herbie. His jazz reminds me always the 70's Hollywood gangsters movies 🙂🙃

[@AntGeezer]

I hope they got Denzel Washington lined up for the Herbie Hancock movie....he’s nailed on for it!

[@kenholley3272]

YOU ARE RIGHT ON TARGET. GOOSEBUMPS- DENZEL WAS GREAT IN " ELI"

I love the mixture from this music. Salute to Lionel Loueke

[@haroldbrown6630]

Thank you.

[@hankmerman1967]

4:12 it's a syncopated 3/4 groove. 5:49 at snap of a finger, it turns into a more standard 4/4 bluesy shuffle.

[@toniurena6785]

Extraordinario documento e increíbles músicos, precioso tema.

[@fredfolson5355]

Man they put a final stamp on this song! Nobody else should be allowed to do this song EVER. It should be against the law!

[@nevermindidontknow]

Incredible

[@imjustsilleh]

In my opinion, there will hardly ever in the future of human race, be a musician with so profound knowledge and understanding of music as Herbie. Enjoy while it lasts. THANK YOU HERBIE !!!

[@tremolux6315]

Jacob Collier ;)

[@Rangoslap8]

I see what you mean. love his music , but please Review Bobby Mcferrin on youtube. He is way more than you think. Herbie said Bobby is the most musically fearless person he knows. Two different genius masters. Totally unique Both of them.

[@GabrieleMartino_65]

thank you so much, i love to hear you talking about music and obviously playing it. you are really a genius.

Wow man! Groovy. Wish I was there to have played on it. You can still feel the vibe from those cats.

[@specksd1]

I waited so long for this........thanks Herbie!!!!

[@btRU_funQsta]

Lionel is, as we say in the Town, a bad, bad man! the stalking bass line he handed John, to underpin Steve’s solid groove and Cyro’s painterly percussion set Herbie, and particularly, Sting, to stretch out and complement the melody (always loved how Sting left the verse lines hanging, unresolved, at phrase ends - masterful!) to, as Sting accepted, unaccustomed, and exotic territory. kudos to these masters. i’ll admit to having Branford’s horn from the original in my head, making want to hear Wayne’s soprano ice this cake…

[@ellooku]

4:30 those notes came from somewhere outside this world. Lolz. For the guitarist, we have a lot of them in Nigeria with different styles. Someone named Peter Jordan I met in Abuja. The World need to know that guy.

[@MarkJVSomers]

Steve Jordan on drums!

[@artofunk]

Mark Somers yes sir! Such a awesome Pocket on this groove (and the others too😊)...

[@TubeYouScreen]

Steve Jordan’s the masters groove insurance policy. You can’t guarantee a groove without it. You could be putting glass through a wood chipper and it would make people move if Jordan’s grooving behind it.

[@kentbyron7608]

Steve Jordan known for his pocket Always. Always. Big Deep Fat Pocket. But his jazz fusion playing in the 70’s and 80’s was untouchable too. Gorgeous, phat, funky, interesting, tasty fills. Check him out on the Brecker Brothers albums Blue Montreux, a live gig with Tony Levin on bass, and Steve on Steve Khan’s record “Casa Loco”. Exciting playing to me, and a totally different Steve Jordan today. He’s changed over the years and reinvented himself, like really great artists do! Sometimes though I really crave his busier playing, with lots of ghost notes, back in the day. Nobody is funkier or has more taste.

[@johngray9434]

[@markmartin4522]

When we approach creation, you must dig in and feel everything move and then to also move with it. Like riding a wave, the more you try to drive it, the lesser is the enjoyment that you will receive. Watch Joss Stone and Jonny Lang with Herbie in possibilities she will not accept her role till she yields to what feels good and what she knows she can bring!

[@fluidjazz]

3:17 this is how I see the world we shouldn't be afraid of being different and holding on to our culture, this idea that we are all the same is nonsense! We should be able to celebrate our identity without being vilified.

[@jphayward2011]

Absolutely! The beauty of humanity is that we are the same in so many essential ways but so very diverse in others and that diversity needs to be celebrated and cultivated. I think that's actually happening in a lot of places (I see it in my hometown, Toronto, for example) but saddening that maybe it's not happening everywhere. I don't know where you're from, fluidjazz, but you wouldn't be vilified in my neck of the woods, I can promise you! Bring it, my friend, bring it!!!

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Celebrate diversity, for it is in diversifying that we even exist at all. Diversity literally is life itself.

[@jowlorenz9555]

Unidiversity even !

[@AllIn1Studio]

fluidjazz Agree! I like Luake’s Tuareg influence, his bringing so much of W.African heritage and sound into jazz....which is cross pollination at best!

[@AllIn1Studio]

Loueke

[@Auntkekebaby]

Sting arranged something tricky that seems like it swings so effortlessly. He's sitting with Herbie. So you know that he's bad it a good way. That guitar and bass is great.

[@Violetcas97]

Respectfully, Sting didn’t arrange this version of the song, Lionel Loueke did. Having said that, Sting wrote the original which inspired this so no disrespect to him, but credit where it’s due Y’know?

[@athruzathruz]

What a privilege for Sting to play with the genius himself, Herbie!!!!
