Herbie Hancock is a true icon of modern music. His success at expanding the possibilities of musical thought has placed him in the annals of this century's visionaries. Herbie played with the Miles Davis quintet in the 1960s and, in 1980, introduced the young trumpeter Wynton Marsalis to the world as a solo artist. For his latest studio project, Possibilities, Herbie teamed with established artists such as Sting, Annie Lennox, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, Paul Simon and Carlos Santana. With an illustrious career spanning five decades, he continues to amaze audiences and never ceases to expand the public's vision of what music, particularly jazz, is all about today.
