This is the Herbie Hancock I've been searching for most of my life.
As a pianist from a different era of career like Tyson to Ali, firstly I wish your eternal above-average happy longevity, and secondly I aspired you for the shared high goals I have adopted to always aim high.

I learn how I feel from what previous feeling to what new feeling, and I memorize that feeling. I study other people and I use different sounds and rhythms and medium to provide that change. Only when I am exhausted would I recline to a complete mimic. Otherwise, I keep the music alive.
It’s amazing how Herbie can make that instrument sing. The sounds they make together move my soul.
Not only a strange superhero but a great jazzman.
When I die my last wish is for "Dolphin dance" to be played at my funeral.Why? Because the song encapsulates my life from being a transplant to the S.F bay area from Saginaw mi. after a short stint in U.S Airforce and working in highend stores selling to stars and going to jazz clubs happy hour after work.Going to piano wine bars in Berkeley ca. dressed to the hilts,dancing smoothly to the live band.Outside concert at U.C Berkeley Greek theatre featuring Miles Davis at night with a background view of the Oakland/SF bay bridge.Transplanting to Boston,living in the Marriott while working as a union pipefitter a d visiting all of Boston jazz clubs.Flying my sister and daughter in(at separate times) driving to NY to go shopping.Finally relocating to Atlanta to 2004,gave up drinking,smoking and drugs and later retiring.This song describes my life,to me!
Congratulations on your sobriety.
My same wish, nearly exactly! Just substitute "Maiden Voyage" as performed by Herbie and Chick.
That Bosendorfer has the edge on the Steinway....Steinways can be very bright in the upper keys. This piano has a full richness throughout the range; incredible pianist.
I dont like Steinways and I played my ear . So sound is very important to me.
I know it's a matter of preference. The craftsmanship says it's the best because you hardly ever have to tune it however I don't dig this sound .
So true. Glad you said that. I love the sound of the piano in this video.
I love Steinways, that Bosie is out of tune!
@@Felix-M. nothing you say adds up
@@paxwallacejazz the stineway has a certain sound to it .....
I dont like the sound......
However the craftsmanship is great you hardly ever have to tune it ....
But that doesn't mean I have to like the sound..
Sound and craftsmanship are two different things ....
For instance it could be made strong sturdy but the sound might be a little bit different than other piano because it actually is. Since I play by ear I search for particular sound of my preference. The Steinway doesn't have the sound of my preference.
I like yamaha's though !
My favorite piano player! Harmony ,Rhythm, Flavor it's all in the pot! Go Mr Hancock you are great!
Herbie’s the only one that disliked the video. He was upset cause he knows he can always do better
interesting - how do you know that? or were you surmizing ? :)
I’m about 5000% sure I’ve never seen this video or made this comment... must have been hacked at some point
@@musicae4531 regardless, its called a joke
@@tsgtezzy holy hell you were hit by the great jazz hacker!
No seriously though, this is the strangest place to find a comment that a hacker might have left 😂
this is an improvisation
This is probably one of my favourite performances by Herbie
I love how Herbie goes in and out of the melody improvising around and bringing the melody and also adhering to the form of the tune.
Herbie is a Genius🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🎶🎶🎹
Incredible effortless technique balanced with superb improvisation.
wow, these dolphins are on some serious drugs !!!! Mr. Hancock is an incredible genius.
Un brano inciso da lui negli anni 60
Ancora capace di grande suggestione
Un maestro assoluto
He's definitely one of my favorite pianist of all time, especially the miles Davis herbie,
that man herbie make that piano BARK. Amazing performance.
love it when herbie goes outside
Amazement still even as a kid. Thank you Mr. Hancock from the NEIGHBORHOOD will do.
Just ridiculously great
In the French Quarter today, my home, there are Red Flag warnings and it is a balmy 72 degrees out today. Nothing yet has ever topped the experience of walking down Toulouse Street listening to this music as I walk around the City.
I love you Brother! That you so much for the love you give.
this is beyond words
It's so angular and out there but so soulful. He's remarkable.
Angular is one of the best descriptions Ive heard of the way Herbie sounds. It's exactly right and the word I was looking for. Thanks! Herbie is indeed remarkable.
A true Jazz giant!!
Incredible performance!
0:59 so beautiful

MASTERFUL! Herbie is my piano God!
Wow!
Sheer beauty.
It;s not often that someones piano playing pulls my attention, makes me stop what I was doing and watch what is happening.
A MASTER!!
Genio!!!
AWESOME 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍
Beautiful
awesome playing! Thanks :)
Astounding!
Почитал комментарии. Кто о чём. И об инструменте, сказали, некоторые комментаторы свою судьбу поведали, последние слухи передали, вроде бы все сделали. Только о том, что это произведение стало классикой американской культуры никто не упомянул. Свое произведение исполняет лично автор. Это не только импровизация, на которой построено музыкальное произведение, это тема природы, моря и то, как это волнует людей. Танец дельфинов, это выражение морской стихии. В произведении мы чувствуем весь спектр эмоций от спокойного штиля до шторма. Композитор разворачивает перед нами всю красоту природы, он показывает нам силу морской стихии и радость жизни. Именно поэтому в завершении произведения на сердце остаётся ощущение торжества жизни. Ведь океан колыбель жизни. Именно об этом танцуют дельфины, именно об этом играет Херби!!! Браво!!! 😎💐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Просто - невероятно 👍
God...his shoulder dance when playing groovy sections haha
amazing
Lovely Bosendorfer Imperial sound~!!
True enough.
the best
Che bravo...
The 290 Imperial sounds incredibly beautiful and actually makes Hancock sound a lot like Oscar Peterson on many of the riffs here.
I honestly do not hear that.
Ohh very difficult what herbie plays and played beautiful :)
the Bosendorfer imperial sounds beautifully under Hancock's hands..
Herbie Hancock is my favorite jazz piano.......PERIOD! This song should have won a grammy instead "Rockit" (which to this day, I hate!). DD is one of his greatest compositions.
Well that's not very jazz of you
this piece of art belongs in Guggenheim between Rothko and Pollock it will never be equaled!
That’s definitely genius!
Deathwish films amazing soundtrack also his work.
Genius! Have anyone transcribed it?? Great harmonies e improvs
❤️
やはり、彼はギルエバンスの様な編曲家だ しかしながらO型星人では珍しいです
Back in the days when Mr. Hancock still played enough of the actual tune along with really fantastic improve and re-harmonization - last time I saw him he was so outside even for my ear that my wife and most likely the rest of the public hadn't a clue if he was actually performing or just practicing on a really out of tune piano -
he's ahead of human comprehension
Not me, I love it when he sets his soul free and go outside the box, he still maintains the expressive spirit of the song, but he continues to evolve it in unpredictable ways. yet manages to provide the foundation for these excursions , while juxtaposing it over what the band is playing, creating a whole new approach to the same song. He's brilliant and I think his years with Miles, evolved his creative spirit in ways we couldn't imagine.
Haha, that's true sometimes. He at times delves into further unknown territory and may get a little carried away. The energy is ALWAYS there, nevertheless.
I hear the tune perfectly well thank you :-)
Pura improvvisazione! Del Qui ed ora!
Did domi sample :42 seconds for the intro on Jump with jd beck?
良いです。😀
He should have stayed with Bosendorfer here. Love Fazioli, but these instruments just are magic.

Seriously, did tripods not exist back then? Why is the camera shaking so much!?
the cinematographer’s preference.
Here is THE tutorial for piano: th-cam.com/video/Olc78R64VJ0/w-d-xo.html
What 50000 views only?
Pianist here - been looking over transcriptions of these solos trying to understand his decision-making and I am very frustrated. Any advice? Thanks :)
He might just be just improvising over a melody and has a huge understanding of things to pull from. I say just train your creative muscle and train your ear of hearing structures and feeling and the rest. Risk and do your own thing
A mix of what you’ve learned with what you never thought . That’s music
I cant believe its not butter
World class artistry, a few bad notes on the piano. Tech, where are you?
The fucking people coughing on the background, my god it's like 1 every five seconds
They smoked so many cigarettes while watching the master play that’s why :))
The 7 dislikes are probably skrillex fanboys
Bro knows who skrillex is
No comment about the detuned e''? Must have been horrible to play for Mr. Hancock, anyway, incredible performance!
it was the Dolphin that caught a cold ;-)....I think it might have happened during that song....but he kinda "went with it"..in the best way a jazzer can be....take what the moment offers you ...and fly with it
ベーゼン…スタインと違うからやり難い!?
Gratuluję niesamowitego talentu! th-cam.com/video/Ikz7ZLJLDMw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ISWo-dl10DUJBpW1
Is there sheet music anywhere for his version of this solo? Or was this an improvised solo based on his previous work?
solo is based on his tune "Dolphin Dance". Herbie keeps the form and harmony of the song throughout on this video.
That didn't really answer my question but thanks anyways man haha
Compare with transcribed "Dolphin Dance" solo /Carlin Music corporation, 14 New Burlington st., London W1/. Transcribe this improvised solo by yourself. You will learn much more then trying to play it from printed sheet...
marimbalick it didn't answer your question as you have much to learn.
i like how you asked a normal question and everyone decided to just be self-righteous condescending cunts about it
Where's the melody?

Ham God I don't see how people enjoy this
@@kamronwilliams2634 haha. that's ok. If it doesn't moisten your oyster then that's just fine. Not everybody's oyster gets moistened the same way.
Ham God Yea definitely! I just wish jazz musicians played "Jazz music" like they used to. Where are our Andre Previns, George Shearings, Art Tatums, Brubecks, Hank Jones! I feel cheated.
@@kamronwilliams2634 For me personally (and I can tell we have different taste, so I'm not expecting you to particular dig these), I think the modern innovators of jazz Hiromi Uehara (Recommended album: A Place to Be), Eldar Djangarov(Recommended project: GEM trio), and Tigran Hamasyan(Album: For Gyumri). They all have very different styles, so maybe you'll find one of them to be as innovative as Brubeck or Art Tatum. Enjoy!
