SAN FRANCISCO -- For lovers of Herbie Hancock's blend of funk and jazz, this DVD truly lets you get into the groove. While watching live concert footage from a show taped at Los Angeles' Knitting Factory earlier this year, viewers can choose from which angle to watch the action using the MX multi-angle option with their remote, a feature which makes this disc stand out. The option is available periodically, (about 30 minutes in total) throughout the 104-minute event. Often, a dual or triple-angle window can be brought up to get even deeper into the action. DVD viewers can also access Hancock's 1982 video of "Rockit," replete with its eerie group of robotic mannequins. Hancock discusses the skills of his band members on a separate interview feature, and close-up solos from each musician are available. A Hancock discography with select audio samples and a group of Web links is also included.
