“I don't see how we can have both the freedoms we had before and the safety net that we all need considering the way the world is today. And that's just because human beings can't trust each other. We've given in over and over to some of the darkest elements that exist in life itself.”

American jazz musician, bandleader, and composer

Herbie Hancock is an American jazz musician, bandleader, and composer. He first came to prominence in Donald Byrd’s group, then joined the Miles Davis Quintet, where he helped reshape the jazz rhythm section and became one of the key figures behind the post-bop sound. In the 1970s, he moved into jazz fusion, funk, and electro, working with a broad range of synthesizers and electronic instruments. During that period, he released Head Hunters, one of his best-known and most influential albums.
