HH and the 88's

Tonights show features the artistry of Herbie Hancock as well as other tracks hilighting some great piano performances or solo's. Honestly, there are so many great pianists in Jazz music that it would be impossible to cover all the ones I wish to. It would literally take a year of shows to do so. I have always admired Herbie's contribution to the jazz idiom. He has always sought to find new ways to express himself on his instrument, and I hope these selections illustrate that. Other pianists presented here have been influenced by Hancock (Barron, Eldar), or perhaps had an influence over him (Evans, Tyner, Jamal).
