要不是Miles Davis出生在前，Herbie Hancock将会是有始以来最畅销的爵士乐手。出生於1940年的Herbie Hancock是当今爵士乐史上相当早熟的一位音乐奇才。早在1963年至1968年加入Miles Davis乐团短短的几年之间，就被国际间公认为最有希望成为下一位爵士钢琴大师的人物。而事实上，在与Miles Davis合作稍早，Herbie Hancock1962年於Blue Note发行的首张专辑《Takin'' Off》，就已被当时美国爵士乐界评断为有史以来表现最佳的初试啼声之作，而专辑中由Herbie Hancock作曲的＜Watermelon Man＞更是红极一时，成为Hancock本人第一支爵士经典标准曲目。睽诸历来表现，不容否认，自60年代至今一直保持旺盛创作力的Herbie Hancock确实是当今爵士乐坛中生代中的佼佼者。此次《Ken Burns Jazz》系列单独发行的22位乐手中，大部份均为作古的传奇乐人，仅有Herbie Hancock与Sonny Rollins为至今尚在且具创作力的乐手，由此不难略见Herbie Hancock於当今乐坛受重视的程度。 赫比·汉考 1940年4月12日，Herbie Hancock出生于芝加哥的一个音乐之家。Hancock七岁开始学习钢琴，两年以后就开始他的第一次公开演出。尽管首演时他弹的是古典作品，但 Hancock的兴趣大部分还是在爵士上。高中和大学时期他在一些半专业的乐团中演奏，偶尔有机会为一些造访的爵士乐手伴奏，其中就有Donald Byrd。1961年，Hancock第一次在纽约演出就是和Donald Byrd合作，后来自己建乐团时也和Donald Byrd合作过。 在六十年代早期和中期，Hancock的乐团主要从事俱乐部演出和录音，但真正使他声名鹊起获得广泛承认的是他加入Miles Davis的五重奏以后，他与Miles共同呆了五年多。在与Davis合作的后期，乐队开始演奏Jazz-rock的风格，Hancock对这种风格十分适应，1968年他自己组了一个六重奏追求自己的演奏观念。合作乐手包括Julian Priester、Buster Williams和Eddie Henderson,他们演奏Hancock原创的作品，乐队成为70年代早期最受欢迎和最具影响力Jazz-Rock乐队。 从1969年开始，Hancock广泛使用电钢琴和其他电子乐器，包括合成器。1973年迫于经济压力Hancock将他的乐队削减为四重奏，其中包括特色乐手Bennie Maupin。新乐队的风格还是Fusion，但这次更多偏向于Jazz-Funk。Hancock四重奏的首张专辑《Head Hunters》被刚萌芽的Disco乐界广泛接受而且赢得巨大的销量。整个七十年代其余的时间，Hancock的音乐始终关注于这个领域。由于这十年在 Disco市场的大受欢迎，使得他进一步削减了现场爵士演出。期间他也制作了数张传统爵士专辑，其中有与Chick Corea一起的以及他自己乐队V.S.O.P.的。 1986年Hancock在电影《‘Round Midnight》中出演并演奏，还写了电影的配乐，因此获得学院奖。之后他在爵士乐界更为活跃了，与Tonny Williams，Ron Carter，Michael Brecker其他人一起巡演。这些年Hancock在音乐上的变化疏远了一些喜欢他在Davis乐队时期作品的乐迷。 reimusho转帖 .
