Herbie Hancock

The 2007 Grammy winner for Album of the Year, 67-year-old Herbie Hancock made waves once again with his latest venture, a pensive tribute to Joni Mitchell entitled River: The Joni Letters. At age 23, Hancock was sought out by Miles Davis to join his second great quintet and later enjoyed a prosperous solo career bringing his signature jazz, funk and be-bop–driven piano playing to audiences around the world.
