More quotes by Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock
My father was really good with math. It's a funny thing, I don't remember my father or my mother being so mechanical-minded. My father always wanted to be a doctor, but he came from a really poor family in Georgia, and there was no way he was going to be a doctor.
Herbie Hancock
One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
The music becomes something that is its own entity.
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
Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.
Herbie Hancock
I keep recycling and repackaging music that I've done in the past, as though I can't write anymore. Like, okay, I'm done with that. But I need to kind of prod myself again into come on, Herbie, get off your duff and start writing some new music.
Herbie Hancock
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
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.
Herbie Hancock
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
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
People always want to protect what's really going on inside. They want to kind of make visible something that looks more pleasant than what may be happening inside of themselves.
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 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
Jazz is about being in the moment.
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
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 think I was supposed to play jazz.
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.
