The Imagine Project is an album by Herbie Hancock released on June 22, 2010.[3] The album, which was recorded in many locations throughout the world and features collaborations with various artists, was complemented by a documentary about the recording process.[4] Hancock's interpretations of these songs are cross-cultural. His version of "Imagine" was inspired by the Congolese group Konono N°1, and won the 2011 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" (the final year that that award was given). The instruments used on "The Times, They Are A' Changin" combine the West African kora with the Celtic flute, fiddle and Uilleann pipes.[5] It was released in CD, digital download and vinyl.
