About
Herbert Jeffrey Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American jazz musician, bandleader, and composer. He started his career with trumpeter Donald Byrd's group. Hancock soon joined the Miles Davis Quintet, where he helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the post-bop sound. In the 1970s, he experimented with jazz fusion, funk, and electro styles using a wide array of synthesizers and electronics. It was during this time that he released one of his best-known and most influential albums, Head Hunters.
Hancock's best-known compositions include "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man", "Maiden Voyage", and "Chameleon", all of which are jazz standards. During the 1980s, he had a hit single with the electronic instrumental "Rockit", a collaboration with bassist/producer Bill Laswell. Hancock has won an Academy Award and 14 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for his 2007 album River: The Joni Letters, a tribute to his friend Joni Mitchell. In 2024, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph ranked Hancock as the greatest keyboard player of all time. In 2025, he received the Polar Music Prize.
Since 2012, Hancock has served as a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he teaches at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. He is also the chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (known as the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz until 2019).

Herbert Hancock, dit Herbie, est un pianiste, claviériste et compositeur américain de jazz né le 12 avril 1940 à Chicago dans l'Illinois. Il est l'un des musiciens de jazz les plus importants et influents de sa génération, en mêlant au jazz, notamment, des éléments de soul, de funk, de rock et de disco.
Herbie Hancock a joué avec de nombreux grands jazzmen dans les années 1960 et a rejoint le Miles Davis quintet, avec lequel il a redéfini le rôle de la section rythmique. Il a également été un des premiers à utiliser les synthétiseurs et le scratch. Malgré ses expérimentations, la musique d'Herbie Hancock est restée mélodique et accessible, rencontrant parfois des succès commerciaux, avec en particulier les pièces Cantaloupe Island, Watermelon Man, Chameleon et Rockit.
Il est aussi acteur, on l'a vu dans des films tels que Autour de minuit, Hitters et Miles Ahead et plus récemment dans Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes de Luc Besson.
