More quotes by 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
It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.
Herbie Hancock
The arts have always served relationships between people of different cultures so well. In a way, the arts function as a very serious kind of ambassador.
Herbie Hancock
The first thing I ever heard about synthesizers, they were being used in rock.

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
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
Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that I can become more human.
Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock
Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis.
Herbie Hancock
One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is not dazzling yourself and others with technique.
Herbie Hancock
I think risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.
