Zur Person

Herbert Jeffrey „Herbie“ Hancock (* 12. April 1940 in Chicago, Illinois) ist ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Pianist und Komponist sowie Oscar- und Grammy-Preisträger. Seine Improvisationen sind geprägt von einer perlenden, Funk-orientierten Spielweise und der Verwendung expressiver Kreuzrhythmen. Einige seiner Kompositionen sind Standards geworden und dienen anderen Jazz-Musikern als Improvisationsgrundlage. Dazu gehören Watermelon Man, Cantaloupe Island und Maiden Voyage, die in den 1960er Jahren auf dem Blue-Note-Label erschienen.
