 an internationally famous American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader and 
 composer. As part of Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet, he was one of the 
 primary creators of the "post-bop" sound. Hancock has combined a unique 
 blend of jazz, blues, modern classical music (like Debussy and Ravel), and 
 sheer funk. Throughout his explorations, he has transcended limitations and 
 genres while maintaining his unmistakable sound through a career that spans 
 five decades and includes 14 Grammy® Awards, including 2008 Album of the 
 Year, River: The Joni Letters.\nHancock's best-known solo works include 
 "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man" (later performed by dozens of 
 musicians, including bandleader Mongo Santamaría), "Maiden Voyage", 
 "Chameleon", and the singles "I Thought It Was You" and "Rockit". Recently 
 Hancock was named UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the promotion of 
 Intercultural Dialogue. In 2013 he joined the University of California, Los 
 Angeles faculty as a professor in the UCLA music department where he 
 teaches jazz music.\n\nThere are few artists in the music industry who have 
 had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B than Herbie 
 Hancock. As the immortal Miles Davis said in his autobiography, "Herbie was 
 the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven't heard anybody 
 yet who has come after him."\n    Hancock was recently appointed 2014 
 Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University. He will 
 deliver a series of six lectures on poetry, "The Norton Lectures" - poetry 
 "interpreted in the broadest sense, including all poetic expression in 
 language, music, or fine arts."  Previous Norton lecturers include 
 musicians Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky and John Cage. Hancock's theme 
 is "The Ethics of Jazz”.\n\nGreg Bridges (G1 Rhythm) is a radio dj and 
 journalist living in Oakland. He can be heard over KCSM 91.1fm 
 (www.kcsm.org) Tuesday nights 6 to 9 pm, and Thursday nights 6 pm to 2 am, 
 on  KPFA (94.1fm) Monday nights 8 to 10 pm, and as a contributor to  
 KPFA’s Hip Hop, social affairs and music show HardKnock Radio. Greg has 
 written for various publications including Jazz Now Magazine and Bayshore 
 Magazine.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/10/13/18762832.php
