More quotes by Herbie Hancock
You can change your character and, at the same time, change your fortune.
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
Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.
Herbie Hancock
It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.
Herbie Hancock
The first thing I ever heard about synthesizers, they were being used in rock.
Herbie Hancock
In the world of Art there are no wrong choices.
Herbie Hancock
It's not exclusive, but inclusive, which is the whole spirit of jazz.

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
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
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
Herbie Hancock
I like to be on the edge, on the cutting edge, or be into the unknown, into the territory where I have to depend on being in the moment and depending on my instincts.
Herbie Hancock
I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal.
Herbie Hancock
As a human being, I'm concerned about the world that I live in.So, I'm concerned about peace.I'm concerned about man's inhumanity to man. I'm concerned about the environment.
Herbie Hancock
If you're not judging what happens, then you're trusting what others are doing, what you're playing, and trusting what you're playing.And it can lead you to other ideas, to something maybe you hadn't expressed before.
Herbie Hancock
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz has been the voice of freedom for so many countries over the past half century.
Herbie Hancock
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
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
The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
Herbie Hancock
