I'm still thoroughly enjoying listening to my Familiar and Unfamiliar playlist.
The other day, Bonnie Raitt's "I Ain't Gonna Let You Break My Heart Again" came up. I love Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw and know them pretty well, but I'd never paid much attention to the piano on this track before.
It's really lovely, though, and moved me so much that I wondered who was playing.
Wikipedia told me it was Herbie Hancock. No wonder it was so beautiful.
- Herbie Hancock – acoustic piano (10)

I think I'm going to listen to it again right now.
(I mentioned it to a friend who loves jazz, and he wondered whether Herbie's appearance on the album might have to do with Don Was producing it; Was knows his jazz ... although he didn't become president of Blue Note until 12 years after Nick of Time.)
