White House - International Jazz Day April 30, 2016 - Prince tribute


Herbie Hancock paid tribute to Prince yesterday at the White House concert:

"Last week we lost a legend. An icon.

The son of a jazz pianist, whose music inspired a new generation of artists to create without boundaries. Courageous, playful, wise, brilliant – and a feast for the eyes and ears.

Prince epitomised the word 'music'.

Tonight we celebrate his incredible virtousity and pay tribute to his legacy that spans every musical genre."


from 1:10:00

Their tribute included a brief, instrumental rendition of 1999, a rap tribute and the chorus of Purple Rain (sung by Aretha Franklin, who, sadly, didn't even know the words...)
