Legendary pianist Herbie Hancock helped shape modern jazz as a member of the groundbreaking Miles Davis Quintet in the 1960s, followed by an innovative solo career. In the 1970s, he fused electric jazz with funk and rock on record-breaking albums like Headhunters, creating a sound that continues to influence generations of artists.
Hancock has received 14 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for River: The Joni Letters, as well as an Academy Award for his Round Midnight film score. A Kennedy Center Honoree and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Hancock received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. He currently serves as Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and as Institute Chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz. His memoir, Herbie Hancock: Possibilities, was published in 2014.
