HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "religion" is not recognized
Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor. Starting his career with Donald Byrd, he shortly thereafter joined the Miles Davis Quintet where Hancock helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the post-bop sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers and funk music. Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
Hancock's best-known compositions include "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man" (later performed by dozens of musicians, including bandleader Mongo Santamaría), "Maiden Voyage", "Chameleon", and the singles "I Thought It Was You" and "Rockit". His 2007 tribute album River: The Joni Letters won the 2008 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, only the second jazz album ever to win the award, after Getz/Gilberto in 1965.

Famous quotes by Herbie Hancock:
"Don't be afraid to expand yourself, to step out of your comfort zone. That's where the joy and the adventure lie."
"Things like creating in the moment, being in the moment, trusting your instincts, not being afraid to go outside the comfort zone."
"The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness."
"Jazz is a music that is open enough to borrow from any other form of music, and has the strength to influence any other form of music."
"It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project."
"There's so much spontaneity involved, what do you practice? How do you practice teamwork? How do you practice sharing? How do you practice daring? How do you practice being nonjudgmental?"
"It's not exclusive, but inclusive, which is the whole spirit of jazz."
"We live on a planet that now must face, hopefully, a form of globalization inclusive of a vision to make the world a better place for the many -not just a select few -and I believe that the arts are in the forefront of that dream."
"Jazz is a music that translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners."
"Music happens to be an art form that transcends language."
"We are eternally linked not just to each other but our environment."
"I'm always looking to create new avenues or new visions of music."
"Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music."
"Creativity and artistic endeavors have a mission that goes far beyond just making music for the sake of music."
"The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way."
"The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom."
"One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values."
"While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future."
"You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom."
"I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal."

I Fall In Love Too Easily
by: Herbie HancockI fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled
in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too
fast
I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled
in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too
