More quotes by Herbie Hancock
Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.
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
Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.
Herbie Hancock
There are a lot of records coming out, in every field of music, not just jazz.
Herbie Hancock
So in other words, we were constantly challenged to grow, and thats what a master does.
Herbie Hancock
I don't mind being classified as a jazz artist, but I do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. My foundation has been in jazz, though I didn't really start out that way. I started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation.
Herbie Hancock
I learned the importance of being nonjudgmental, taking what happens and trying to make it work.That's something you should apply to life.
Herbie Hancock
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
Herbie Hancock
It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.
