Spectacle... Featuring Herbie Hancock

I love sitting down to watch Spectacle... with Elvis Costello on Sunday nights.  The second season has just hit the air Friday night on CTV, but I missed it.  U2 was the special guest.  Of course it was only a matter of time before Bono got involved.  The first season is still being aired on Bravo, and it's well worth watching. This week's guest was Herbie Hancock.  He discussed the process of writing and arranging tunes, and how he comes up with his most memorable licks.  There was a really special moment where Hancock played Joni Mitchell's "Edith and the Kingpin," Costello offered his, ahem, unique vocal stylings to the tune.  Here's a great version of Watermelon Man.
