More quotes by Herbie Hancock
It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.
Herbie Hancock
Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

Clare Fischer was a major influence on my harmonic concept. He and Bill Evans, and Ravel and Gil Evans, finally. You know, that's where it really came from. Almost all of the harmony that I play can be traced to one of those four people and whoever their influences were.
Herbie Hancock
Don't be afraid to expand yourself, to step out of your comfort zone. That's where the joy and the adventure lie.
Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock
I'm very conscious of the idea of trying to each time present something that I haven't presented before. It's a challenge to me to find something new, to find something innovative, but it's also very exciting.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is not dazzling yourself and others with technique.
Herbie Hancock
People are afraid to spend money now because they dont know how long theyre going to be working.
Herbie Hancock
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
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
People always want to protect what's really going on inside. They want to kind of make visible something that looks more pleasant than what may be happening inside of themselves.
Herbie Hancock
