Herbie Hancock
One of the greatest experiences I ever had was listening to a conversation with Joni Mitchell and Wayne Shorter. Just to hear them talking, my mouth was open. They understand each other perfectly, and they make these leaps and jumps because they don't have to explain anything.
Herbie Hancock
So much of what I create has been due to the influence of Miles Davis and Donald Byrd, and so many of those that have passed on. Their music, their legacy lives on with the rest of us because we are so highly influenced by their experience and what they have given us.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz is about being in the moment.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.
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.
