Musical artist

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an Americanjazz musician, bandleader, and composer.[2] He started his career with trumpeterDonald Byrd's group. Hancock soon joined theMiles Davis Quintet, where he helped to redefine the role of a jazzrhythm section and was one of the primary architects of thepost-bop sound. In the 1970s, he experimented withjazz fusion,funk, andelectro styles using a wide array ofsynthesizers and electronics. It was during this time that he released one of his best-known and most influential albums,Head Hunters.[3]

Hancock's best-known compositions include "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man", "Maiden Voyage", and "Chameleon", all of which arejazz standards. During the 1980s, he had a hit single with the electronic instrumental "Rockit", a collaboration with bassist/producerBill Laswell. Hancock has won anAcademy Award and 14Grammy Awards, includingAlbum of the Year for his 2007 albumRiver: The Joni Letters, a tribute to his friendJoni Mitchell. In 2024,Neil McCormick ofThe Daily Telegraph ranked Hancock as the greatest keyboard player of all time.[4] In 2025, he received thePolar Music Prize.

Since 2012, Hancock has served as a professor at theUniversity of California, Los Angeles, where he teaches at theUCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.[5] He is also the chairman of theHerbie Hancock Institute of Jazz[5] (known as theThelonious Monk Institute of Jazz until 2019).

Early life

[edit]

Hancock was born inChicago,Illinois, the son of Winnie Belle (née Griffin), a secretary, and Wayman Edward Hancock, a meat inspector for the government. His parents named him after the singer and actorHerb Jeffries.[6] Hancock attendedHyde Park High School in Chicago.[7] Like manyjazz pianists, Herbie began with aclassical education.[8] He started playing piano when he was seven years old, and his talent was recognized when he was young. Considered to be achild prodigy,[9] he played the first movement ofMozart'sPiano Concerto No. 26 in D Major, K. 537(Coronation) at a young people's concert on February 5, 1952, with theChicago Symphony Orchestra (led by CSO assistant conductorGeorge Schick) at the age of 11.[10]

Throughout his teens, Herbie Hancock never had a jazz teacher; he developed his ear and sense of harmony by listening to the records of jazz pianists includingGeorge Shearing,Erroll Garner,Bill Evans, andOscar Peterson. Hancock was also influenced by records of the vocal groupthe Hi-Lo's. In his words:

By the time I actually heard the Hi-Lo's, I started picking that stuff out; my ear was happening. I could hear stuff and that's when I really learned some much farther-out voicings – like the harmonies I used onSpeak Like a Child – just being able to do that. I really got that fromClare Fischer's arrangements for the Hi-Lo's. Clare Fischer was a major influence on my harmonic concept... he andBill Evans, andRavel andGil Evans, finally. You know, that's where it came from.[11]

In 1960, Hancock heardChris Anderson play just once and begged him to accept him as a student.[12] Hancock often mentions Anderson as his harmonic guru.[13]

Hancock graduated fromGrinnell College inGrinnell, Iowa, in 1960,[14] with degrees in electrical engineering and music. Hancock then moved back to Chicago,[14] and began working withDonald Byrd andColeman Hawkins. During this time, he also took courses atRoosevelt University.[15] Grinnell also awarded him an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree in 1972.[10][16] Byrd was attending theManhattan School of Music in New York at the time and suggested that Hancock study composition withVittorio Giannini (which he did for a short time in 1960). The pianist quickly earned a reputation, and played subsequent sessions withOliver Nelson andPhil Woods. Hancock recorded his first solo album,Takin' Off, forBlue Note Records in 1962. "Watermelon Man" (fromTakin' Off) was to provideMongo Santamaría with a hit single, but more importantly for Hancock,Takin' Off caught the attention ofMiles Davis, who was at that time assembling a new band. Hancock was introduced to Davis by the young drummerTony Williams, a member of the new band.

Career

[edit]

Miles Davis Quintet (1963–1968) and Blue Note Records (1962–1969)

[edit]

Hancock received considerable attention when, in May 1963,[10] he joined Davis'sSecond Great Quintet. Davis personally sought out Hancock, whom he saw as one of the most promising talents in jazz. Therhythm section that Davis organized was young but effective, comprising bassistRon Carter, 17-year-old drummer Tony Williams, and Hancock on piano. AfterGeorge Coleman andSam Rivers each took a turn at the saxophone spot, the quintet gelled withWayne Shorter on tenor saxophone. This quintet is often regarded as one of the finest jazz ensembles yet.[17]

While in Davis's band, Hancock also found time to record dozens of sessions for the Blue Note label, both under his own name and as asideman with other musicians such asWayne Shorter, Williams,Grant Green,Bobby Hutcherson, Rivers, Byrd,Kenny Dorham,Hank Mobley,Lee Morgan,Freddie Hubbard, andEric Dolphy. Hancock also recorded several lesser known but still critically acclaimed albums with larger ensembles –My Point of View (1963),Speak Like a Child (1968) andThe Prisoner (1969), albums that featuredflugelhorn,alto flute andbass trombone in addition to the traditional jazz instrumentation. 1963'sInventions and Dimensions was an album of almost entirely improvised music, teaming Hancock with bassistPaul Chambers and two Latin percussionists,Willie Bobo and Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez.

During that period, Hancock also composed thescore toMichelangelo Antonioni's filmBlowup (1966), the first of many filmsoundtracks he recorded in his career. As well as feature film soundtracks, Hancock recorded a number of musical themes used on American television commercials for such well-known products asPillsbury'sSpace Food Sticks,Standard Oil,Tab diet cola, andVirginia Slims cigarettes. Hancock also wrote, arranged and conducted a spy type theme for a series ofF. William Free commercials for Silva Thins cigarettes. Hancock liked it so much he wished to record it as a song but the ad agency would not let him. He rewrote the harmony, tempo and tone and recorded the piece as the track "He Who Lives in Fear" from hisThe Prisoner album of 1969.[18]

Davis had begun incorporating elements of rock and popular music into his recordings by the end of Hancock's tenure with the band. Despite some initial reluctance, Hancock began doubling on electrickeyboards, including theFender Rhodeselectric piano at Davis's insistence. Hancock adapted quickly to the new instruments, which proved to be important in his future artistic endeavors.

In the summer of 1968, after being dismissed from Davis' band under the pretext that he had returned late from a honeymoon inBrazil, Hancock formed his own sextet.[19] Despite his departure from the band—which was disbanded soon after—Hancock continued to appear on Davis’ records for the next few years. His appearances includedIn a Silent Way,A Tribute to Jack Johnson, andOn the Corner.

Fat Albert (1969) and Mwandishi era (1971–1973)

[edit]
Hancockc. 1970

Hancock left Blue Note in 1969, signing withWarner Bros. Records. In 1969, Hancock composed the soundtrack forBill Cosby's animated prime-time television specialHey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert.[20] Music from the soundtrack was later included onFat Albert Rotunda (1969), anR&B-inspired album with strong jazz overtones. One of the jazzier songs on the record, the moody ballad "Tell Me a Bedtime Story", was later re-worked as a more electronic sounding song for theQuincy Jones albumSounds...and Stuff Like That!! (1978).

Hancock became fascinated with electronic musical instruments. Together with the profound influence of Davis'sBitches Brew (1970), this fascination culminated in a series of albums in which electronic instruments were coupled with acoustic instruments. Hancock's first ventures intoelectronic music started with a sextet comprising Hancock, bassistBuster Williams and drummerBilly Hart, and a trio of horn players:Eddie Henderson (trumpet),Julian Priester (trombone), andmultireedistBennie Maupin.Patrick Gleeson was eventually added to the mix to play and program the synthesizers.

The sextet, later a septet with the addition of Gleeson, made three albums under Hancock's name:Mwandishi (1971),Crossings (1972) (both on Warner Bros. Records), andSextant (1973) (released onColumbia Records); two more,Realization andInside Out, were recorded under Henderson's name with essentially the same personnel. The music exhibited strong improvisational aspect beyond the confines of jazz mainstream and showed influence from the electronic music ofcontemporary classical composers. Hancock's three records released in 1971–73 later became known as the "Mwandishi" albums, so-called after aSwahili name Hancock sometimes used during this era ("Mwandishi" isSwahili for "writer"). The first two, includingFat Albert Rotunda, were made available on the two-CD setMwandishi: the Complete Warner Bros. Recordings, released in 1994. "Hornets" was later revised on the 2001 albumFuture2Future as "Virtual Hornets".

Among the instruments Hancock and Gleeson used wereFender Rhodes piano,ARP Odyssey,ARP 2600,ARP Pro Soloist Synthesizer, aMellotron and theMoog synthesizer III.

FromHead Hunters (1973) toSecrets (1976)

[edit]
See also:Head Hunters
Hancock (left) with the Headhunters, 1975

Hancock formedthe Headhunters, keeping only Maupin from the sextet and adding bassistPaul Jackson, percussionistBill Summers, and drummerHarvey Mason. The albumHead Hunters (1973) was a hit, crossing over to pop audiences but criticized within his jazz audience.[21]Stephen Erlewine, in a retrospective summary forAllMusic, said, "Head Hunters still sounds fresh and vital three decades after its initial release, and its genre-bending proved vastly influential on not only jazz, but funk, soul, and hip-hop."[22]

Drummer Mason was replaced byMike Clark, and the band released a second album,Thrust, in 1974. (A live album from a Japan performance, consisting of compositions from those first twoHead Hunters releases was released in 1975 asFlood). This was almost as well received as its predecessor, if not attaining the same level of commercial success. The Headhunters made another successful album calledSurvival of the Fittest in 1975 without Hancock, while Hancock himself started to make even more commercial albums, often featuring members of the band, but no longer billed as the Headhunters. The Headhunters reunited with Hancock in 1998 forReturn of the Headhunters, and a version of the band (featuring Clark) continues to play and record.

In 1973, Hancock was commissioned to compose the soundtrack for the controversial filmThe Spook Who Sat by the Door, based on thenovel of the same name bySam Greenlee, who had grown up in the same neighborhood of Chicago as Hancock.[23][24][25] In the following year, Hancock composed the soundtrack to the firstDeath Wish film. One of his songs, "Joanna's Theme", was re-recorded in 1997 on his duet album with Shorter,1+1. Hancock's next jazz-funk albums of the 1970s wereMan-Child (1975) andSecrets (1976), which point toward the more commercial direction Hancock would take over the next decade. These albums feature the members of the Headhunters band, but also a variety of other musicians in important roles.

FromV.S.O.P. (1976) toFuture Shock (1983)

[edit]
Hancock in 1976

In 1978, Hancock recorded a duet withChick Corea, who replaced him in the Davis band a decade earlier. Hancock also released a solo acoustic piano album,The Piano (1979), which was released only in Japan. (It was released in the US in 2004). Other Japan-only albums includeDedication (1974),V.S.O.P.'s Tempest in the Colosseum (1977), andDirect Step (1978).VSOP: Live Under the Sky was a VSOP album remastered for the US in 2004 and included a second concert from the tour in July 1979.

From 1978 to 1982, Hancock recorded many albums of jazz-inflecteddisco and pop music, beginning withSunlight (featuring guest musicians including Williams and Pastorius on the last track) (1978). Singing through avocoder, he earned a British hit,[26] "I Thought It Was You", although critics were unimpressed.[27] This led to more vocoder on his next album,Feets, Don't Fail Me Now (1979), which gave him another UK hit in "You Bet Your Love".[26]

Hancock toured with Williams and Carter in 1981, recordingHerbie Hancock Trio, a five-track album released only in Japan. A month later, he recordedQuartet with trumpeterWynton Marsalis, released in the US the following year. Hancock, Williams, and Carter toured internationally with Wynton Marsalis and his brother, saxophonistBranford Marsalis, in what was known as "VSOP II". This quintet can be heard on Wynton Marsalis's debut album on Columbia (1981). In 1984 VSOP II performed at the Playboy Jazz Festival as a sextet with Hancock, Williams, Carter, the Marsalis Brothers, andBobby McFerrin. In 1982, Hancock contributed to the albumNew Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) bySimple Minds, playing a synthesizer solo on the track "Hunter and the Hunted".

In 1983, Hancock had a pop hit with the Grammy Award-winning single "Rockit" from the albumFuture Shock. It was the firstjazz hip-hop song[28][29][30] and became a worldwide anthem forbreakdancers and for hip-hop in the 1980s.[31][32] It was the first mainstream single to featurescratching, and also featured an innovative animated music video, which was directed byGodley and Creme and showed several robot-like artworks byJim Whiting. The video was a hit onMTV and reached No. 8 in the UK.[33] The video won in five categories at the inauguralMTV Video Music Awards. This single ushered in a collaboration with noted bassist and producerBill Laswell. Hancock experimented with electronic music on a string of three LPs produced by Laswell:Future Shock (1983), the Grammy Award-winningSound-System (1984), andPerfect Machine (1988).

During that period he appeared onstage at theGrammy Awards withStevie Wonder,Howard Jones, andThomas Dolby, in a synthesizerjam. Lesser known works from the 1980s are the live albumJazz Africa (1987) and the studio albumVillage Life (1984), which were recorded withGambiankora playerFoday Musa Suso. In 1985, Hancock performed as a guest on the albumSo Red the Rose (1985) by theDuran Duran spinoff groupArcadia. He also provided introductory and closing comments for thePBS rebroadcast in the United States of theBBC educational series from the mid-1980s,Rockschool (not to be confused with the most recentGene Simmons' Rock School series).

In 1986, Hancock performed and acted in the filmRound Midnight. He also wrote the score/soundtrack, for which he won anAcademy Award for Original Music Score. His film work was prolific during the 1980s, and included the scores toA Soldier's Story (1984),Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986),Action Jackson (1988 withMichael Kamen),Colors (1988), and theEddie Murphy comedyHarlem Nights (1989). He would also write music for television commercials, with "Maiden Voyage" starting out as a cologne advertisement. At the end of thePerfect Machine tour, Hancock decided to leave Columbia Records after a 15-plus-year relationship.

1990s to 2000

[edit]

The departure led to a hiatus from recording and the release of several compilations during the first half of the 1990s.[34] He returned with Carter, Williams, Shorter, and Davis admirerWallace Roney to recordA Tribute to Miles, which was released in 1994. The album contained two live recordings and studio recording songs, with Roney playing Davis's part as trumpet player. The album won a Grammy for best group album. Hancock also toured withJack DeJohnette,Dave Holland, andPat Metheny in 1990 on theirParallel Realities tour which included a performance at theMontreux Jazz Festival in July 1990, and scored the 1991 comedy filmLivin' Large, which starredTerrence C. Carson.

Hancock's next album,Dis Is da Drum, released in 1994 is a return toacid jazz. Also in 1994, he appeared on theRed Hot Organization's compilation albumStolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool. The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in relation to the African-American community, was heralded as "Album of the Year" byTime magazine. In 1995, the release ofThe New Standard had Hancock and an all-star band that includedJohn Scofield, DeJohnette andMichael Brecker, interpreting pop songs byNirvana,Stevie Wonder,the Beatles,Prince,Peter Gabriel, and others.

A 1997 duet album with Shorter,1+1, was successful; the song "Aung San Suu Kyi" winning the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. Hancock also achieved great success in 1998 with his albumGershwin's World, which featured readings ofGeorge andIra Gershwin standards by Hancock and a plethora of guest stars, including Stevie Wonder,Joni Mitchell and Shorter. Hancock toured the world in support ofGershwin's World with a sextet featuringCyro Baptista,Terri Lynne Carrington,Ira Coleman,Eli Degibri, andEddie Henderson.

Personal life

[edit]

Hancock has been married to Gigi Hancock (née Meixner) since 1968[1] and the couple has a daughter. In a 2019 interview, Herbie said: "Gigi is very compassionate. She really cares about other people. She spends most of her time helping her friends. She has a big heart. At the same time she won't let you get away with anything. If you try to sneak something past her, she'll call you on it in a second. She got me into the pop art scene in New York in the 1960s and I introduced her to my jazz world."[52]

In 1985, Hancock's sister, Jean, a computer consultant and a lyricist who wrote for him,Earth, Wind & Fire,Dianne Reeves, andBooker T. & the M.G.'s, was killed in the crash ofDelta Air Lines Flight 191.[53]

In his memoirPossibilities, written with Lisa Dickey and published in 2014, Hancock revealed that he had previously battled an addiction tocrack cocaine, in the 1990s, and that his wife and daughter helped him get sober: "This was an intervention, and I was so embarrassed, but there was another feeling creeping in, too: relief. I had been struggling with this habit, and this secret, for so long. I looked at my daughter and sobbed, wondering how I had gotten to this place but thankful that it was finally going to end".[54] Since 1972, Hancock has practicedNichiren Buddhism as a member of the Buddhist associationSoka Gakkai International.[55][56][57] Part of Hancock's spiritual practice is to recite the Buddhist chantNam Myoho Renge Kyo each day.[58] In 2013, Hancock's dialogue with musicianWayne Shorter and Soka Gakkai International presidentDaisaku Ikeda on jazz, Buddhism and life was published in Japanese and English,[57] then in French.[59]In 2014, Hancock delivered a lecture at Harvard University titled "Buddhism and Creativity" as part of his Norton Lecture series.[60]

Cobra automobile ownership

[edit]

In 1963, at the age of 23, Hancock purchased a new1963 AC Shelby Cobra from a dealership inNew York City for $6,000. He is still its owner and thus the longest owner of a Cobra. The car, serial number CSX2006, was the sixth Cobra ever produced, making it a rare and valuable vehicle. It is one of only 75 Cobras originally produced with a 260 cubic-inch engine and the only Cobra ever equipped with a two-barrelcarburetor. The car has been estimated to be worth more than $2 million. Hancock plans to give the car to his grandson.[61][62][63]
