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
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
I'm always interested in looking forward toward the future. Carving out new ways of looking at things.
