Customer Review: I saw Herbie Hancock perform two songs on Live From Abby Road and I was simply amazed at how great they were. I have never considered myself a jazz fan, I have never owned or listed to a Herbie Hancock cd and Joni Mitchell does not live in my cd collection of over a 1000 cds. But when I heard the... more info
Customer Review: I'm a piano teacher and jazz piano player. One of my student's parents gave this to me. It's great because you get Herbie's legendary jazz piano playing in a lot of different settings with interesting and mostly succussful results. Especially notable are the remake of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called... more info
Customer Review: Since its initial release in 1973, Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters" album has become a fusion jazz classic and rightfully so. Much like his former boss Miles Davis as well as R&B artists like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, Herbie Hancock set out to make music that was innovative for its time and... more info
Customer Review: A little place called Twins Lounge where I got to hang out with some of the better jazz musicians in and out of the main concourses of DC and elsewhere; I used to torture the players to play the only jazz song I really enjoyed and felt confortable with: "Maiden Voyage". I knew that piece was the... more info

that said - AWESOME. the Nirvana cover - totally unexpectedly awesome.
i've never followed herby but... more info
Customer Review: Herbie Hancock-Empyrean Isles ***** By the time of this release Herbie Hancock had already been with the great Miles Davis for over a year, which is the equivalent of four years at Juilliard School of Music. On Empyrean Isles, one of Herbie's earliest solo recordings we find the... more info
Customer Review: "Thrust" is the ultimate statement by the Headhunters, and ranks as Herbie Hancocks best and funkiest album. Highlighted by the bombastic drumming of Mike Clark (who knew a white boy could groove THAT hard) "Palm Grease" features Herbie's now trademark Rhodes and Clavanet. Yet, "Thrust" features a... more info
Customer Review: Versatility is the most functional word to describe this living legend. Hancock (1940) is one of these emblematic artists of the jazz who has known to forge himself with untiring vocation to create an own sound, always learning from the greatest (Miles Davis, neither more nor less, Hubert Laws and... more info
Customer Review: This is a great introduction to Herbie Hancock as both a gifted Jazz Pianist and as a composer. These nine tracks capture him during his Blue Note period recording under his own name whilst still playing as Pianist for Miles Davis in the famous 1960's band. Starting with the famous 'Watermelon... more info
