More quotes by Herbie Hancock
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
Herbie Hancock
We need to put into practice the idea of embracing other cultures. We need to be shaping the kind of world we want to live in instead of waiting for someone else or some other entities to do it for us.
Herbie Hancock
I've been curious ever since I was a little kid.
Herbie Hancock
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

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
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock

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
It is people's hearts that move the age.
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'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
I'm one of the people who was a pioneer in encouraging musicians, early in the game, to get interested in technology, and now all the musicians are getting into it.
Herbie Hancock
People are afraid to spend money now because they dont know how long theyre going to be working.
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
Technology has developed to a whole other level and theres the scientist part of me that loves that stuff.
