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 Get That Too From The Interviewer. 👍🏾
He always comes across as such a genuine, classy guy.
His mannerisms and voice remind me of his musical presence. makes me cry even seeing his virtual presence through the screen🥲😭
Maiden Voyage , Dolphin dance, Chameleon, Cantaloupe Island, Watermelon man Etc.....Herbie 🙏🏾!!!
What a cool guy is Herbie Hancock. I would like to have more stories of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Sonny Rollins, while they are still live.
what a marvellous, genuine, unassuming, inspiring person
How do I find people this genuine and compassionate, more importantly how do I become more like that? Definitely inspiring and something to aspire for.
I love " Tell me a bedtime story ". I wish that was his favorite. Everything Herbie writes is brilliant.

One of my hero
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.

always tasteful, no matter what style...

Herbie Hancock is like the ultimate epitome of "cool jazzy guy". He's been that for decades and he ain't stoppin' now =)
All the Goodness God has been and done to this Beloved Icon, and he gives a false god the praise, honor, and glory! It’s not gonna end well Herbie, give the True and Living God the honor, praise, and glory that’s due Him while there is still time our Beloved Maestro...😳 There is a Heaven and a hell...😳

what is the name of the song he was playing with the orchestra?

That would be Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue."
a cut in the middle of his story about the writing of maiden voyage???? He was basically mid sentence! This is the ADD generation so much so that even the media just assumes we get bored after 20 seconds mid sentence.

Yes indeed. Was just listening to "Cancellation," a track with Jackie Mclean and Charles Tolliver, and Herbie was so very responsive to their playing.
Somewhere out there, is a napkin with notes written by Herbie himself...
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.
