Herbie Hancock
Herbie Hancock is one of the most famous jazz musicians in the world. No one can deny that he’s an American Jazz legend, and always will be remembered as a legend. Born in 1940, Herbie Hancock’s musical life began with Classical music education. His talent was recognized right away. In high school, Hancock finally got interested into Jazz by listening to several jazz recordings.
In 1963, Herbie Hancock’s Jazz career began by joining the new project of a legendary trumpet player Miles Davis, the “Second Great Quintet”. With many other talented young musicians around him, Hancock developed his own style and way of playing piano. After playing in Miles Davis’s band, Hancock started his own career, his own music.
As a solo jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock produced numerous impressive works with the help of many other Jazz musicians. During the late 1960s and 1970s, rock music became the hottest new trend in the music industry. The loud, noise-like sound of electric instruments certainly influenced musicians of different genres and the public. A revolution was about to break out in Jazz. In order to create new sounds and pull the attention of the public, azz musicians modified and put the elements of rock in their music. Herbie Hancock was one of the leading artists of this movement. He hired electric instrument players for his projects. Upright bass was replaced by electric bass. Electric guitar’s became much more important in the band than before. Herbie Hancock began playing electric keyboard, producing psychedelic and artificial sounds.
“Head Hunters”, released in 1973, is one of the most famous fusion Jazz/Funk masterpieces. Herbie Hancock and his band’s experimental melody and funky rhythm shocked both the public and the critics, earning the reputation of a mind blowing work. The album’s first track Chameleon became known as Herbie Hancock’s theme song. It also became a Jazz standard and is still played by numerous Jazz bands around the world. Despite the song’s long length, its simple, funky bass line and dreamy melody simply sucks one’s attention. “Head Hunters” went beyond the limit that Jazz had, and achieved a great success.
