Herbie Hancock

— ,Barbican Hall

Herbie Hancock is a true icon of modern music, still striving to challenge Jazz orthodoxy well into his 70s.

Over five decades of music-making at the highest level, Hancock has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his own unmistakable voice. A pivotal figure in the journey that Jazz has taken from acoustic to electric, he has exerted a profound influence on a much wider musical landscape, whether through an innovative use of technology, probing the grooves of Dance music and Hip Hop, or re-defining the language of the Jazz mainstream.


Here, keytar in hand, he will be showcasing his new brand new project, which has been debuted at festivals across Europe this summer and promises to deliver on all the hallmarks of a Herbie Hancock show: unpredictable, electrifying and unmissable.
