Herbie Hancock
Herbie Hancock will always be one of the most revered and respected figures in jazz. Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more.
The Head Monster - Noel Lee
A classical piano prodigy at age seven, the 20-something Herbie gained his jazz chops handling the keyboards for his mentor Miles Davis. Since then, Hancock has cut a zigzagging forward path, shuttling between almost every development in electronic and acoustic jazz and R&B over the last third of the 20th century, winning eight Grammy Awards along the way.
Herbie Hancock is a true icon of modern music. Throughout his explorations, he has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice. With an illustrious career spanning five decades and 12 Grammy® Awards including the 2007 Album Of The Year for 'River: The Joni Letters', he continues to amaze audiences. There are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B than Herbie Hancock. As the immortal Miles Davis said in his autobiography, "Herbie was the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven't heard anybody yet who has come after him."
Hancock, who shares a mutual admiration society with Head Monster Noel Lee, succinctly sums up his enthusiasm for the company's gear: "You guys make great products."
