Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
Image
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.

I think I was supposed to play jazz.

Clare Fischer was a major influence on my harmonic concept. He and Bill Evans, and Ravel and Gil Evans, finally. You know, that's where it really came from. Almost all of the harmony that I play can be traced to one of those four people and whoever their influences were.

The music becomes something that is its own entity.
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
Image
The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental.
Herbie Hancock
Image
Jazz translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners.
Herbie Hancock
Image
I think risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.
Herbie Hancock
Image
I've always been interested in science. I used to take watches apart and clocks apart, and there's little screws, and a little this and that, and I found out if I dropped one of them, that thing ain't gonna work.
Herbie Hancock
Image
It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.
Herbie Hancock
Image
I try to practice with my life.
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.
