Spiritland Legends: Herbie Hancock

30/08/2018

  • Jazz/Funk/Soul

Our Legends series continues with an all-night celebration of pioneering jazz-funk multi-instrumentalist Herbert Jeffrey Hancock.

With a career spanning six decades, Hancock took the experience of his early days with Miles and Blue Note into new jazz-funk realms, taking a leading role in bringing the vocoder and keytar into popular music culture while he was at it.

As his career continues through to present day, his body of work inspires successive generations of musicians, particularly in the world of electronic sampling.

The music will be curated by our sharp-dressed friend Jean-Claude: Hancock enthusiast, DJ and head of If Music. Come and see what our resident Herbie-head hunts out.
