HANCOCK, HERBIE - HERBIE HANCOCK & FRIENDS

Herbert Jeffrey „Herbie” Hancock (ur. 12 kwietnia 1940 w Chicago) – amerykański pianista, kompozytor, aranżer i bandlider jazzowy. Laureat NEA Jazz Masters Award 2004. Jest laureatem czternastu nagród Grammy i Oscara za muzykę do filmu Round Midnight z 1986. Wiele jego kompozycji stało się standardami – między innymi „Watermelon Man”, „Cantaloupe Island” (rozsławiony przez remiks grupy Us3), „Maiden Voyage”, „Eye of the Hurricane”, „Dolphin Dance” czy „Chameleon”.
Jest także uważany obok McCoy Tynera, Keitha Jarretta i Chicka Corei za jednego z czterech wielkich pianistów późnego modern jazzu, którzy wywarli największy wpływ na grę na tym instrumencie. Przedmiotem podziwu jest zwłaszcza jego inwencja rytmiczna i improwizacyjna. Tworzy muzykę zarówno o charakterze czysto jazzowym, jak i będącą pod mniejszym lub większym wpływem popu, rapu i techno, w każdym z tych gatunków poruszając się z równą swobodą.
