The legendary pianist-keyboardist
Herbie Hancock (1940) is working on a new album. It hasn't been decided when it will be released: “
I'm shooting for the spring, but I'm not putting a time limit on it. It's going to come out when it's ready.” Hopefully, it will be out when he performs at North Sea Jazz because his last recording
The Imagine Project dates back to 2010. Hancock will be accompanied by several stars of contemporary jazz: sensational saxophonist-keyboardist Terrace Martin, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist James Genus and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, all of whom play on the new album. Hancock has had a truly tremendous career in which he was a member of Miles Davis' band, leader of the groundbreaking group Headhunters and producer of jazz hits like
Rockit. Hancock is a frequent and valued guest at North Sea Jazz; his last performance was in 2015, with fellow legend Chick Corea
