Herbie Hancock Now in the fifth decade of his professional life, Herbie Hancock remains where he’s always been: at the forefront of global culture, technology, business and music. As well as being recognized as a legendary pianist and composer, Herbie Hancock has been part of every popular music movement since the 1960s. These albums “Rockit” and “Future Shock” marked the incursion of Herbie Hancock in electronic dance music and garnered him several chart-topping successes; during the same period, he also continued to work in a more acoustic framework with V.S.O.P., a group made up of former members of Miles Davis’ band: Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Many of his compositions, including “Canteloupe Island”, “Maiden Voyage”, “Watermelon Man” and “Chameleon”, are modern standards that have had a profound impact on all styles of contemporary music.<\/span><\/p>\n Herbie Hancock<\/strong> piano Find them on Wednesday July 27 at 11 p.m<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
