Herbie Hancock

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
