Herbie Hancock, tam adıyla Herbert Jeffrey Hancock, 12 Nisan 1940’da ABD’de dünyaya geldi. Müzisyen bir aileden gelen Hancock yedi yaşında piyanoyla ilgilenmeye başladı, halka açık ilk gösterisini ise bundan iki sene sonra gerçekleştirdi. İlk başlarda klasik müzik çalıyor olsa da Herbie’nin asıl ilgi alanı cazdı. Lisede yarı profesyonel topluluklarla birlikte çaldı, fırsat buldukça dinletilerde aralarında Donald Byrd’in da bulunduğu cazcılara eşlik etti. Hancock 1961’de ilk kez New York’ta çalarken yanında yine Byrd vardı, onunla kendi küçük topluluğu adına kayıtlar yaptı. Bu ilk albümdeki parçalar arasında cazı sıradan caz dışı dinleyicilere de ulaştırmayı başaran bir şarkı, "Watermelon Man" de bulunuyordu. Öyle...

Mann was quite prolific and performed often. His first gig was playing in the Catskills at age 15. His last, on May 3, 2003 was at the New Orleans Jazz...

Wayne "The Train" Hancock has been called "the master of hillbilly swing," a "roots Renaissance man," a "country singer's country singer" and "Hank Williams meets Gershwin." But the phrase most frequently echoed throughout his career is "Wayne Hancock is the real deal." Joe Ely said it, Hank Williams III said it, Bobby Koefer from the Texas Playboys said it, as have countless music fans and writers when referring to Hancock's authentic and original blend of honky tonk, western swing, blues and big band that he calls "juke joint swing!" Authenticity and sincerity have been the cornerstones of Hancock's writing and...

He performed originally in bop groups, but is best known today for his own highly original compositions, program music which combines bop, Dixieland, and West Indian music with harmonies derived from Erik Satie and Béla Bartók. His first known...
