LOS ANGELES - A group of economists on Monday said that it was too soon to know when the U.S. recession had ended, a technical ruling that has more than academic interest in this midterm election year.

In a statement published on its Web site, the National Bureau of Economic Research said that the usual indicators showed the economy was improving, but that it was too soon to put a date on when the recession ended.

"The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research met at the organization's headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 8, 2010," the group said. The committee examines economic indicators to determine the trough date, the end of contraction and the beginning of expansion for the recession that began in December 2007.

From wikipedia:
Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American pianist and composer. He is regarded not only as one of the greatest living jazz musicians, but also as one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
