Herbie Hancock | SoCal Connected | KCET

74-year-old Herbie Hancock has been breaking musical boundaries for decades.
With dozens of Grammys, gold records, and an Oscar for "Best Score" under his belt, Hancock has no plans of slowing down. He recently added another feather to his musical cap as the creative chair for jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he's played Gershwin alongside Gustavo Dudamel, one of the world's greatest conductors.
In this 2011 segment of "SoCal Connected," correspondent Michael Okwu visits the home of Hancock. "Jazz to me is the spirit of freedom, I mean real freedom," explained Hancock." The freedom to explore. Freedom to express, and the freedom to pour out your guts."

    The interviewer was a humble child at heart. Artists love talking to these kinds of people because they have the ears to listen and perceive the magic these artists bring to the table. They're not trying to look cool, smart and know it all, they genuinely place themselves in a position of reception.

    I think Rhapsody in Blue might be the greatest song of the 20th century. It speaks the very soul of America. Gershwin's recounting of the writing process suggests a pure channeling from a higher place. "It was on the train, with its steely rhythms, its rattle-ty bang, that is so often so stimulating to a composer - I frequently hear music in the very heart of the noise.... And there I suddenly heard, and even saw on paper - the complete construction of the Rhapsody, from beginning to end. No new themes came to me, but I worked on the thematic material already in my mind and tried to conceive the composition as a whole. I heard it as a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our metropolitan madness. By the time I reached Boston I had a definite plot of the piece, as distinguished from its actual substance." IMHO you can hear this, there is no mistaking it.

    You can tell the interviewer is a fan. You can see the glee on his face, and how enthused he was with all of the little tidbits of information he was learning. Yet he was still respectful, polite, engaging, and kept the wheel greased. Love it.
