Herbie Hancock, Future 2 Future.

Mr. Hancock published this innovative album back in 2001. Music influences come from many places. From classic jazz and soul to Hip-Hop and Electronica. As you will see in the YouTube video, he doesn’t overplay and the rhythmic base (drums and bass) are all powerful and drank both from jazz and new rhythm.

Herbie Hancock presence on stage is as always iconic and elegant. His piano playing appears along his reading and his little turntable-like device.

Here is the embed of the song Tony Williams, the legendary drummer. This is not really the best video that I could found in YouTube, but it is really interesting and the embed was allowed. In the original recording, you could hear a feminine voice reading the homage to Tony Williams. Herbie Hancock read it here.
