Freedom Jazz Festival: Herbie Hancock's Charm at 80 Years Old

Description

It's been over a decade since his last visit to Hong Kong, and the legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock is coming to perform at the Freedom Jazz Festival. This musical pioneer, who has been breaking musical boundaries and exploring new jazz frontiers since the 1960s, has won 14 Grammy Awards and received the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score for 'Round Midnight.' He has released popular albums such as 'Headhunters and Mwandishi,' 'Rockit,' and 'Future Shock,' blending jazz with rock, funk, and electronic music to create a revolutionary sound that has influenced generations of musicians.

Even in recent years, Hancock continues to collaborate with a new generation of musicians from diverse fields, including rapper Kendrick Lamar, jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, and the Y2K jazz duo DOMi and JD BECK. He relentlessly explores new sounds and continues to tour the world well into his eighties, with a stage presence that hasn't diminished over time.
