word. I was just thinking about his music last week. Homeboys always keept it current and wanted to challenge himself musically and grow.



I'll selectively forget anything post 1980 with the exception of "Rock-It"

I like the Carl Craig collab ("Kebero pt. 1 & 2") and the track with Imani Uzuri on vox ("Be Still") from that album.

Happy birthday Mr. Hancock.

What I've always admired about Herbie Hancock is, he has never been afraid to embrace new technology. Can you imagine the same argument these "keep it real" dudes have about Serat0 being applied to him?

"Nah man, these synths aint keepin' it true dawg. I'm strickly rockin' this grand piano son!"


Aside from his incredible talent, that, I think, has been what's helped keep him relevant through the years.


Happy Birthday to another major influence on me. From scratching to keys, dude has been a part of almost everything I do.

my favorite musician of all time... can't wait to get home and blast some of his catalog. wish i could buy him a drink today or something...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERBIE!!! you are thae reason i started buying vinyl!![/b]

i seriously hope this guy lives to 100... he still tears the keys up when he plays live. and he is definitely the ONLY mufugga i'm ever forgiving for putting out a Starbucks album. VIVA HERBIE!!!

I wanted to follow the 'Happy Birthday _____' thread trend while they were still on the first page. All the April 11 B-days were lame

I know, right!

Someone needs to sample that ridiculous computer beat at the beginning where they're talking about dotted 8ths.


Unless someone decides to post this after I mention it, I have some Herbie Hancock stuff from a 7-inch that accompanied the Fender Rhodes. It's much like YouTube video above -- Herbie showcasing the capabilities of the Rhodes using wah, wah-fuzz, and Echoplex. Then the Headhunters run through a track on "The Spook..."

already did


i'm also feeling that glass of white wine Quincy finishes. It makes me wonder if he was getting faded during the session or after the cameras stopped they both started wylin' and making music.

Say, he's playing in my area over the summer. When is the last time someone has seen him in concert? I just wonder what styles he plays these days. Has he gone back to straight jazz, does the dabble with any funk sets, does he play new material, or spend time on the classics?

I'm wondering what I could expect.

He's playing up at Robert Mondavi in Napa sometime in July. I suspect he may have some SF shows at that time, too.

Ummm...anyone know what the fuck is going on around the 1:45 mark?
All I can see is an ARP Odyssey but I have no clue how it's being controlled.
Some Theremin-like controller using CV/Gate?




Does anyone know where this is available to buy? I see more and more people posting clips of it on youtube so it must be out there somewhere.
