Performing Mozart with the Chicago Symphony at the age of 11, Herbie Hancock was a child prodigy who blossomed into one of the most distinct and influential pianists in the history of modern music. His miraculous playing on all the Miles Davis albums recorded between 1963-68 reveal a musical evolution of quantum leaps and bounds. By the time Herbie graduated from Miles’ band in 1968, he left not as a sideman to the great trumpeter, but as an equal.
From the late-‘60s through the mid-‘70s, Herbie’s music moved in parallel evolution to that of Miles, with the pair both deeply immersed in genre blurring electronic experimentation. Leaving Blue Note for Warner Bros, Herbie plugged his instrument in and radically changed his sound.
