Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage / P. Bop

[lboogie1906]

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is a pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer, and actor. Hancock started his career with Donald Byrd. He joined the Miles Davis Quintet, where he helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the post-bop sound. In the 1970s, he experimented with jazz fusion, funk, and electro styles. His best-known compositions include the jazz standards "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man", "Maiden Voyage", and "Chameleon", as well as the hit singles "I Thought It Was You" and "Rockit". His tribute album River: The Joni Letters won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, only the second jazz album to win the award. Like many jazz pianists, he started with classical music education. He studied from age seven, and his talent was recognized early. Considered a child prodigy, he played the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 26 in D Major, K. 537 at a young people's concert, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He graduated from Grinnell with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Music. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CcP4Ma_rJa-UnbF8CdwvGuq-vyBntFrFNdUk800/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
