Herbie Hancock is a legendary jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader. With a career spanning over six decades, he has been at the forefront of innovation in jazz music. Known for his unique blend of traditional jazz with elements of funk, soul, and electronic music, Hancock has pushed the boundaries of the genre and influenced countless musicians.
Born on April 12, 1940 in Chicago, Illinois, Hancock began playing piano at a young age and quickly developed his skills. He gained recognition as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the 1960s before embarking on a successful solo career.
Hancock's groundbreaking album "Head Hunters" released in 1973 became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades including multiple Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for his film score composition.

There are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&amp;B than Herbie Hancock. In 1963, Miles Davis invited Hancock to join the Miles Davis Quintet. During his five years with Davis, Herbie recorded many classics with the jazz legend including ESP, Nefertiti and Sorcerer, and later on he made appearances on Davis' ground-breaking In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Hancock's own solo career blossomed on Blue Note, with classic albums including Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles and Speak Like a Child. After leaving Davis' fold, Herbie put together a new band called The Headhunters and, in 1973 in San Francisco, recorded Head Hunters. Head Hunters became not only Hancock's best-selling album, but also the second highest selling jazz album of all time (at last RIAA count). It was in 1973 that he gathered a new band to combine electric music with funk, perhaps best exemplified in the pop music of Sly Stone. Hancock took over all synthesizer duties, along with Fender Rhodes and clavinet and was backed by bass and drums. The opening bars of "Watermelon Man" with Bill Summers blowing into a beer bottle, along with the band's funky grooves and new electric sounds, captured the crossover fans who had otherwise avoided buying jazz records.
