About Herbie Hancock
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.

During that period, he released Head Hunters, one of his best-known and most influential albums.
