A jazz musician is not a jazz musician when he or she is eating dinner or when he or she is with his parents or spouse or neighbors. He's above all a human being . . . the true artform is being a human being.
Herbie Hancock
Image
I don't go around, the way many musicians do, with earbuds in my ear listening to my iPod all day and just sticking my head in the music all the time.
Herbie Hancock
Image
Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that I can become more human.
