Jazz is about being in the moment.
Herbie Hancock
It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.
Herbie Hancock
In World War II, jazz absolutely was the music of freedom, and then in the Cold War, behind the Iron Curtain, same thing. It was all underground, but they needed the food of freedom that jazz offered.

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
Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
