More quotes by Herbie Hancock
I think risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.
Herbie Hancock
Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen.
Herbie Hancock
It's part of life to have obstacles. It's about overcoming obstacles that's the key to happiness.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz is about being in the moment.
Herbie Hancock
Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that I can become more human.
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
We need to move into a culture of peace. What I hope to promote is the idea that we all need each other and that the greatest happiness in life is not how much we have but how much we give. That's a wealth that's priceless. You can't buy compassion.
Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
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
The music becomes something that is its own entity.
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
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
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 feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
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
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
Herbie Hancock
A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student and whose goal is not dictate the answers, but to stimulate his students' creativity enough so that they go out and find the answers themselves.
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 spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
Herbie Hancock
