More quotes by Herbie Hancock
Wisdom is the key to understanding the age, creating the time.
Herbie Hancock
I hope that I can make good music out of whatever genre I go into. Just to prove to myself that I can.
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
When you struggle to reach for something you don't know, that's where most of the interesting stuff is.
Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.

Herbie Hancock
There are a lot of records coming out, in every field of music, not just jazz.
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
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 think I was supposed to play jazz.
Herbie Hancock
People are afraid to spend money now because they dont know how long theyre going to be working.
Herbie Hancock
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is not dazzling yourself and others with technique.
Herbie Hancock
I don't think there are any pure Africans of the African Americans, but the African part of our history was pretty much taken away from us during slavery, so the 60s gave us a chance, because of the civil rights movement, to kind of re-examine and make some sort of formal connection to our African-ness.
Herbie Hancock
It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.
Herbie Hancock
