Herbie Hancock making a guest solo appearance on Simple Minds' "Hunter and the Hunted". Little-known and a bit surprising, but musically great.

Michael Franti of Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprsy and Spearhead was in love with my girlfriend at one point. She told me about it, but the guy is 6' 6" and was playing basketball for Univ. of San Francisco. In a way, it was flattering.
Michael Franti, for those who don't know his music.
