More quotes by Herbie Hancock
Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.
Herbie Hancock
The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental.

Herbie Hancock
I'm aware that a lot of what is happening in jazz has not had a very dynamic change in a long time.
Herbie Hancock
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock
So I didn't actually change my name the way some people did.
Herbie Hancock
I spent five years, at least, working with Miles. Together, we recorded ESP, Nefertiti, Sorcerer -- and I can tell you each of these albums instantly became jazz classics. Hey, we had Wayne Shorter playing tenor sax, Ron [Carter] on bass, Tony Williams played drums. That was great band we had.
Herbie Hancock
Creativity shouldn't be following radio it should be the other way around.
