More quotes by Herbie Hancock
One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
Herbie Hancock
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
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
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.

Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen.

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'm one of the people who was a pioneer in encouraging musicians, early in the game, to get interested in technology, and now all the musicians are getting into it.
Herbie Hancock
I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal.
Herbie Hancock
Technology has developed to a whole other level and theres the scientist part of me that loves that stuff.
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 feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
Herbie Hancock
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
Herbie Hancock
When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.
Herbie Hancock
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
Herbie Hancock
Jazz has been the voice of freedom for so many countries over the past half century.
Herbie Hancock
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
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
There are a lot of records coming out, in every field of music, not just jazz.
