By PicoHerbie Hancock has enjoyed a long, five-decade musical career that has been both artistically and commercially fulfilling. Not many other artists can boast that of any genre, much less a jazz musician. But 2008's winner of the Album Of The Year Grammy has given us Blue Note modern jazz classics like Maiden Voyage, abstract space funk-jazz like Sextant, an early hip-hop hit in Future Shock (which contained “Rockit," another surprise Grammy winner), and nearly all shades of ...
