Maybe that’s why he’s seen as an epitome of cool. Maybe that’s why he was such a valued employee by Miles Davis. Because Herbie Hancock didn’t really give a damn. OK, maybe he gave a bit more of a damn than Davis but, still, Hancock ploughed onwards, developing his increasing complex style, his musical chops, the type of instruments used within his work, he crossed genres from jazz to R&B and electronica and evolved his keyboard voice and associated signatures. http://theaudiophileman.com/crossings/ Seite 1 von 5 Herbie Hancock: Crossing over to an electronic future - The Audiophile Man 03.07.17, 0920 HOME ∠ NEWS ∠ FEATURES ∠ HIFI REVIEWS ∠ MUSIC REVIEWS ∠ DVD & BOOK REVIEWS ∠ # $ % " !

So, even at this early stage of the development of electronic instrumentation, Hancock was there, eager to learn and experiment. That included a synthesiser-toting Patrick Gleeson (actually Doctor Patrick, if you will) as well as his owns Echoplexed, fuzz-wah-pedaled electric piano and clavinet. This album forged into the avant-garde, with Gleeson’s Moog as one of the star attractions. http://theaudiophileman.com/crossings/ Seite 2 von 5 Herbie Hancock: Crossing over to an electronic future - The Audiophile Man 03.07.17, 0920 Only three tracks occupy this LP. Sleeping Giant is a 25 minute, extraordinary ﬁve-piece, complex yet exploratory sequence that hangs together despite it adventure in ideas. Hancock’s Fender Rhodes electric piano adds a funky edge to the work. Quasar sends us into space, care of that Moog effects and the organic trumpet effects from Eddie Henderson. Water Torture comes from the bass clarinet playing Bernie Maupin – in fact, Maupin pens two of the three tracks on this LP. Maupin continues the adventure with Hancock’s other-worldly Mellotron and fuzz-wah-pedaled Fender Rhodes piano providing shades of musical colour. Well mastered by the ever reliable German audiophile company, Speakers Corner and, for jazz fans, still impressively brilliant.

“Head Hunters”—Herbie Hancock (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Bob Gluck (Guest Post) *
“Head Hunters”—Herbie Hancock (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Bob Gluck (guest post) * Original album Original label Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock’s “Head Hunters” charted a new course for a musician who had come to see the entire world as his potential audience. In crafting this recording, Hancock renewed an historic idea while furthering something novel: jazz that audiences could dance to. Not since the big band era had jazz quite so successfully reached out a broad net, merging music for attentive listening with an approach that gave everybody something to hold onto. This had been the goal of late 1950’s and early 60’s “hard bop.” That music, made famous by drummer Art Blakey and pianist Horace Silver, injected widely beloved African American musical styles— gospel and the Blues—into modern jazz. By softening bebop’s blazing fast angularity, hard boppers crafted a more accessible, finger snapping, more populist style. In fact, this was the music Herbie Hancock first played as he began his professional career at the beginning of the 1960s with Donald Byrd’s band and on his own early recordings. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Hancock’s mentor, Miles Davis, began to update this concept of bridging popular Black music—R&B and funk--with jazz. Yet it was Hancock’s “Head Hunters” that most successfully reached the younger generation with this new synthesis. Hancock first gained the attention of a wider public when his 1962 hard bop tune “Watermelon Man” became, in the hands of Mongo Santamaria, a Latin dance craze.

Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting…
1 of 38 Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting… By, Rick Calic www.jazzrockworld.com March 2006 Writing an article about Jazz Rock Fusion these days might seem as pointless as debating the benefits of Hi-Fi equipment with vacuum tubes vs. transistors to someone that uses an iPod. The only people that would care are older folks who even remember tubes and dedicated enthusiasts. On the other hand, while Jazz Rock Fusion might be older or seem equally pointless to many reading this article, there remains a large but scattered segment of the world’s population that sees the genre as a vibrant and legitimate art form. Sadly though, the musical perspective regarding Jazz Rock Fusion was narrow from the beginning and will probably always be that way. Jazz Rock Fusion, in terms of the entire world of music, constitutes just a tiny fraction of interest. Yet, if we accept this as fact, which most fans, musicians and certainly “big business” does, the generation of any interest at all is meritorious. In order to discuss the music with integrity, a ground rule needs to be established. This ground rule is required due to the unsolved, long lasting, and ongoing mysteries of the music and its unique identity. Mysteries such as: What is Jazz Rock Fusion? Who started Jazz Rock Fusion? What should it be called? And finally, with no major media support why is there still a market? So, what are the answers you ask? Quite simply these mysteries will remain mysteries. Answering the questions definitively will end up as trivial as the facts regarding the creation and development of the gut bucket.

How We Got Here
Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 2, pp. 97-100 (Summer 2013) How We Got Here Kevin Fellezs You’ll Know When You Get There: Herbie Hancock and the Mwandishi Band. By Bob Gluck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2012, 288 pp. $37.50. Bob Gluck’s You’ll Know When You Get There offers an insider’s view of Herbie Hancock’s so-called Mwandishi Band through extensive use of interviews with the band members and a mix of descriptive and musical theory analyses of selected recordings. Written in an accessible style, Gluck focuses on Hancock’s most experimental period, calculating the various ways in which Hancock and his bandmates—bassist Mchezaji Buster Williams, drummer Jabali Billy Hart, reedist Mwile At Akya Bennie Maupin, trombonist Pepo Mtoto Julian Priester, and trumpeter Mganga Eddie Henderson—negotiated the post- bop/post-free jazz world emerging in the mid- to late-1960s. Gluck notes a number of stylistic tendencies in Hancock’s music at the time, a blend of a quality Gluck terms “abstraction” and funkiness, which developed from the pianist’s variegated musical interests. Similar to many artists throughout jazz's long history, Hancock played with the tensions between art and commerce. The celebrated experimental efforts of the band were modified by a keen interest in commercial values as the title of the book, a song Hancock composed for an Eastern Airlines commercial, indicates. By tracing the formative years prior to the Mwandishi band’s first recording, Gluck offers a narrative that resists privileging either side of that equation, balancing his primary focus on the music with an acknowledgment of the economic pressures attendant to professional music careers.

Electroacoustic, Creative, and Jazz: Musicians Negotiating Boundaries
ELECTROACOUSTIC, CREATIVE, AND JAZZ: MUSICIANS NEGOTIATING BOUNDARIES Robert J. Gluck Department of Music, University at Albany [email protected] ABSTRACT 2. ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC IN JAZZ Throughout its history, electroacoustic music has viewed The free jazz, aka creative music aesthetic of the 1960s itself as distinct from what are perceived as popular and 1970s in particular reflected great openness to new musical forms. This is problematic because a parallel musical ideas, while remaining grounded in earlier experimental musical universe has existed within jazz and traditions. That movement “… reflected an African- other African-American musical traditions. This American tendency to enrich artistic expression with the presentation explores collaborations between sonic textures of everyday life … [in this case] through the electroacoustic and jazz musicians during the 1960s and arcane language of modernist concert music …In short, early 1970s, through the lens of the personal experiences free jazz had achieved a tenuous balance between black of members of Herbie Hancock’s “Mwandishi” band, and vernacularism and radical change.” (Radano, 1994) of electroacoustic musicians including Richard Teitelbaum Especially worthy of note in this regard is the work of the and Gordon Mumma. The discussion interrelates racial Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and musical segregation, and argues for the inclusion of (AACM) in Chicago and, after 1980, New York, and most jazz and “creative music” forms within the domain of relevant to a discussion of connections between jazz and electroacoustic music. electronic music, pianist and multi-instrumentalist Muhal Richard Abrams, saxophonist Anthony Braxton, violinist 1.
