Herbie Hancock

HERBIE HANCOCK.  NEA Jazz Master Herbie Hancock was a major force in the post-bop jazz of the 1960s, leading his own quintet and holding the piano chair in the second classic Miles Davis Quintet, and few jazz artists have achieved his degree of crossover success.. Beginning with 1973’s seminal “Headhunters,” Hancock unleashed some of the most innovative and accessible jazz funk of his generation, and he continues to innovate both in the studio and on stage. As one of jazz’s most beloved living legends, the opportunity to see Hancock is the stuff of fan dreams.  Orpheum Theater, 216 State St.   8:00pm.  Tickets $79.50-$160.00.
