You would never know he is one of the true great musical geniuses of our time. Just seems down to earth and likable, doesn't need to play anything technical to impress. Rare man.

Sorry, not even close. Herbie is one of the most important, influential pianists in jazz history. He's a living legend. Like Bird, Coltrane, et al, his impact on jazz music and the huge number of young pianists he influenced will never be surpassed. Not by Brad Mehldau or anyone else.

Herbie Hancock goes Vangelis

Hancock received considerable attention when, in May 1963,[7] he joined Davis's Second Great Quintet. Davis personally sought out Hancock, whom he saw as one of the most promising talents in jazz. The rhythm section Davis organized was young but effective, comprising bassist Ron Carter, 17-year-old drummer Williams, and Hancock on piano. After George Coleman and Sam Rivers each took a turn at the saxophone spot, the quintet gelled with Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone. This quintet is often regarded as one of the finest jazz ensembles[13]yet. The second great quintet was where Hancock found his own voice as a pianist. Not only did he find new ways to use common chords, but he also popularized chords that had not previously been used in jazz. Hancock also developed a unique taste for "orchestral" accompaniment - using quartal harmony and Debussy-like harmonies, with stark contrasts then unheard of in jazz. With Williams and Carter he wove a labyrinth of rhythmic intricacy on, around and over existing melodic and chordal schemes. In the latter half of the 1960s their approach became so sophisticated and unorthodox that conventional chord changes would hardly be discernible; hence their improvisational concept would become known as "Time, No Changes"

I remember when the Korg M1 came out. ...oh boy was that exciting. All other keyboards were like toys in comparison. Lots of respect for Korg and Herbie!

My favorite Jazz Composer: Herbie Hancock. PERIOD. I uploaded a clip of me playing “Watermelon Man” on my IG and tagged his name on it. 😮= my face when his IG liked it. I love Herbie’s music so much that I made a customized CD of my favorite songs and called it (Spectrum). Featuring the songs: 1. Spiraling Prism 2. Sun Touch 3. Tell Me A Bedtime Story 4. I Thought It Was You 5. Mimosa 6. Just Around The Corner 7. I Have A Dream 8. Sunlight 9. Fat Albert Rotunda 10. No Means Yes 11. Textures Herbie🙇🏾‍♂️🥰🙇🏾‍♂️

Mind-bending, thought expanding, Herbie Hancock is the definition of Legend! He has a never-ending stream of new sounds that just amaze and keep me as a lifelong fan.

I grew up listening to your music, when you came out with Rockit, i just jammed it loud on my boombox . Thanks for all the memories in the 80's as a kid. You're awesome.

Man, one day I will have this in my collection. One day.

Herbie Hancock plays so good that he doesn't need to play, you just know he's a legend. This demo is more about a discussion about the Korg than him making a demo song. Jordon Rudess does that. And yes he might have only a few months to play with this but also remember back in the 80's he was bringing synth sounds into jazz so why not have him demo Korg, it's a perfect fit.

Absolutely right Tim S. Any kid at the Guitar Center can demo a Kronos for you... Herbie on the other hand could take this one instrument and entertain a Concert Hall full of people for many great nights of music. Herbie and Brian Bell... nearly beat the guys that ended up inventing Midi. Herbie is educated as an Electrical Engineer so understands the inner workings of these fine instruments way more deeply than most.

Well said, Tim. That "noodling" has earned him Millions of Dollars. And Herbie has no need to slam out a Concert on a Korg Ad just to uphold his reputation. His reputation is solid with 14 Grammys and 34 Nominations plus an Academy Award.... no Herbie doesn't have to do anything but just be seen with a Korg... to sell it. www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/herbie-hancock

Not sure what quite happened. I love Korg, had a Kronos, but i was linked to this video after watching herbie demo a DX7 in the 1980’s and he played with so much passion in that video that I always expecting this to be off the scale. But he doesn’t do any playing like I was saw in his 80’s video. Would have loved to hear him on the Kronos

Wow Herbie must be amazed at seeing this technology after all those years using big monosynths.......how far we have all come.....I wonder what Korg has up their sleeve next

"I have a lot things goin' on at the same time"...Mr. Hancock says here. That's excactly how I experience 'every' KORG synth or workstation. "They stimulate my creativity"...and that, also, is excactly right. The power of KORG is: it really plays as if it's alive.

Krog is the best Keyboard hands down.

I always have to laugh when Herbie is around. :D

Il Maestro plays the Kronos. One of a kind, one of the greats!

Herbie is among the best in my opinion.

Just goes to show, whether you're a 3rd grader in music class, or a world-class jazz musician, it's always fun to fuck around and make silly noises in keyboard soundbanks.

Would love a Kronos and a jam with Herbie : )

well with yamaha upgrading, I know korg will do something really mind blowing. korg started the smooth transition with the original kronos. Now here comes everyone else so I know korg is observing. hell they just made a basic keyboard. ek50 something like that. That's nothing like korg. They have something really big in plan and it's going to blow tf out our minds

Crazy to think this guy's almost 80!

I love Herbie. I respond the same way when I get behind a Korg. I totally geek out. I am a huge Korg fan but as of late they have disappointed me by cheapening the actual keys. The sounds are great don't get me wrong but they need to make the actual keyboard more like the yamaha or Kawaii keyboards. Weighted keys that strike actual hammers, with full key length that is deeply embedded within the instrument opposed to pivoting on the edge of the upper part of the instrument.
