For over 60 years, Herbie Hancock has served as a redefining force in jazz. From getting his start in the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-1960s alongside Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, Hancock has consistently pushed jazz’s limits. His 1973 album Head Hunters broke jazz open to rock and funk crowds, linking a fusion of the styles and helping spawn a new genre. In the 1980s, Hancock’s ambitious use of synthesizers helped define the decade, and his continuous reinvention of musical norms has continued unabated for decades. His last new album and 41st studio release, The Imagine Project, arrived in 2010 and featured duets with Dave Matthews Band, Jeff Beck, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Chaka Khan, John Legend, The Chieftains, and more.
