Thanks for sharing that. Love me some Herbie.

I just recently re-bought his 1984 album Sound System, even though I was worried it would sound dated and ridiculous... nope! It rocks like a mofo!

Hancock's cover of Thieves in the Temple.

Wow... I'd kind of lost my enthusiasm for Thieves over the years, but this has reignited it for me. Thanks!

His tribute speech following Prince's death was very profound. He brought up Prince's jazz roots that emanated from his jazz pianist father. Herbie is another genuis who doesn't get caught up in labels or genre. It was typical lazy journalism that the writer didn't reference Hancock's cover of Thieves in the Temple.

Are you able to proivide a link?

Umm, I was referring to the tribute speech.

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Learned some new stuff.

LMAO...i love & respect our legends (for the most part), but forreal, Aretha was looking like a shiny sack of potatoes in that clip...and her voice has been shot, for years...
