What can I say, If I already had very high regards for Herbie Hancok as a musician, I can only say, now I can also respect him as a great human being. I had just also heard an interview of Carlos Santana about Miles, this lecture also enlighten my knowledge and respect for Miles. Congratulations for this great and informative Lecture!!!
What an incredibly noble & inspiring soul you are, Herbie Hancock. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of the greatness that made Miles Davis far more than just an extraordinary trumpet player.
Thank you Professor Hancock. I started (trying) to play the guitar after hearing Grant Green and you on "Feeling' the Spirit"! The words of wisdom which you have imparted are acknowledged and accepted.
@@andrewweatherhead4127 I respectfully Thank you Sir! After hearing "Go Down Moses", I went home and picked up a broom, imagining that I was playing the guitar.
I love this. Hearing the back stories. It reminded me of when I was in a band with Louis Fasman, and one evening we raced our cars the same way, only we got caught. Two trumpet players in court. Louis had his mouthpiece, and was buzzing with it all the time. He later went on to be Maynard Ferguson's lead player.
@Tony Sheesh, it's music autobiography, you can't expect any to be Marcuse, or Heidegger....Is that how you pick any and every read? You criteria for picking a book are for it to be 'challenging' ...Ok, how about the Bhagavad Gita, and The Mahabharata, Sanskrit version, is that challenging enough for you?
I couldn't even remember how the Chameleon bass line went yet it soon came back due to muscle memory - then those butter notes were raised. Suddenly a whole new sound opened up once they were left out - thank you for the much needed inspiration Mr Hancock 👍😊
This a wonderful to make a noble lecture about the music of a man that changed the course of music more than once.History should remind us of those who dared to challenge the norm the times.Let us see the past as it was only to see the possibilities of the future.Funding in the schools should be replenished , for our children.Art and music is essential to growth well being.Promotion for the arts and humanities is losing ground at this time.Lectures like this is highly regarded in that it will enlighten those who need to be aware of artists that belived in new ideas.Let us not forget the past.Let us move forward with optimism.
Great anecdotes about Herbie's inspirational teachers and mentors. Loved his introduction about himself. Thank you Herbie. Had the privileges of attending your concert in Bangkok at a Royal Performance. It was special and memorable concert.
Stumble on this, not my mistake, guess GOD wants me to hear and learn something from this. Brilliant lecture, from a brilliant man. Thanks to you all, that pave the way for coming generations of blacks both male and female. The likes of you make us proud. GOD bless and keep you all in Jesus name Amen✌
Listen...listen to Mr Hancock...listen.....he repeats it often....listen...listen to the music...listen to the words, listen to the sounds....listen to the wisdom....listen to your soul...love Hancock.....love the music...love the sound....love the Hancock....love Miles....
I have loved Miles' music - in particular the 2nd quintet - and have winced when hearing all the negative stuff about him (much of it written by and about himself in his awful autobiography). This offers a corrective, a tribute to his musical genius.
I agree Robert, about Miles Autobiography. I have many biographies by artists of different genres. Miles is probably the worst. I gave it to a charity shop. Hope they managed to get a few cents for it!
What a formidable human being. An inspiration and aspirational presence for us to follow. Thank you, Herbie. I’ll make sure my offspring listen to your music and words.
Very interesting about the advice from Davis to "leave out the butter notes." It's a little like atonal composers wanting to "liberate dissonance." Replacing more familiar 3rds and 7ths with other notes makes you compose and listen more contrapuntally, and to hear different notes as colors or textures in their own right. It's also not totally unlike Chopin, with some of his notes I heard described as "non-functional harmony." Chopin's music is rooted in dance and bel canto, but it's also channels the potential of the instrument.
When Herbie tells his Cobra Maserati story, he mentions Miles saying, cute, when he sees Herbie's car. He said it to me, too. Stage door exit after a show at the San Francisco Opera House. I was there in the hallway holding some artwork I did of Miles made of cut out pieces of paper, rephotographed onto a 14x20 print. Miles had changed clothes when he walked out into the back door lobby. He had on a leather jacket that seemed to be three layers thick. Collars inside collars. I said nothing, but held up the artwork. He stopped, raised his glasses, looked at it, said, "Cute", dropped his glasses, and walked out.
Once I met Bassist peter washington and I told him that here I am among blacks in newyork but what I learned about african American history was thru jazz. And he said to me "jazz is not only music but also a sociology'. Your lecture was more than jazz thankyou. I will buy you a big Watermelon.
Here we go..... slave trading (to which I think you are referring to) was common place in all African and Islamic cultures, long before Europeans got there. In fact for two thousand years before the European exploitation of Africa. Some African tribes even took ska es from neighbouring countries and eating your enemy was even recored in some instances, so I don’t think we need an ill informed (albeit well intentioned) lecture on the black struggle. Doesn’t make it right, but everyone was wrong if you want to put it that way. We are, what we are and we shouldn’t be proud if it.
"Always be a student" that's the crucial lesson in music and life as a whole.
Can't help but crying watching this. Herbie has a big heart, and I am thankful that he is sharing so much wisdom.
I love the fact that Herbie gives such respect to Donald and then to miles… I’m in love with the love… and the touch!
I feel the same way.
Donald Trump?
I can’t wait for this guy to quiet down
"I always listen to what I can leave out..." Miles...WOW! Thank you Herbie!
Yeah. That one stuck with me, too.
This is an incredibly inspirational and provocative masterpiece of storytelling, wisdom and leadership. Thank you, Herbie!
I was not aware what deep thinker and excellent speaker HH is.
What an amazing talk.....such an intelligent, articulate and compassionate man.
8:14 Good place to start the lecture.
Ovation stops and Hancock begins speaking at 9:25 .
The beginning I believe is the best place to start...😁
Out of context, it's funny, but yeah, watch the whole thing.
Totally unexpected from a British intellectual!
"There is no plan B" my new mantra! Inspiring record!
Love You Herbie! As Polack in NewYork feel very Close Freiend with You and all Our Music! Michal Urbaniak & Urnanator!
Herbie is incredible! An absolute master musician, and a great human being. A great example for anyone!
What can I say, If I already had very high regards for Herbie Hancok as a musician, I can only say, now I can also respect him as a great human being.

One of my favourite records.
My introduction to the brilliant Grant Green.🙏

Herbie is the man. His autobiography 'Possibilities' is a great read.
What a great title...
I have not have the time to read it, what with Proust and Tolstoy.........
@@vova47 It's relatively short and quite easy to read, not dense and heady and long as Proust and Tolstoi.

Thank you, master.
Brilliant man, Herbie Hancock! My respect and admiration. (Also, he doesn't age!!!)
I agree. He looks like he's in his 50's not in his early 80's.
One-True-Hero....One-Pillar- A Human 🙏🏽
Great anecdotes about Herbie's inspirational teachers and mentors. Loved his introduction about himself. Thank you Herbie. Had the privileges of attending your concert in Bangkok at a Royal Performance. It was special and memorable concert.

Amazing grace

Miles autobiography isn't awful: it is just honest, for good and for bad.
Miles was rough…bio gives u a window into how Miles perceived his life
Admire and love Herbie - Miles Davis’ music and personality leave me COLD
Feel sorry for u…get a blankie
What a formidable human being. An inspiration and aspirational presence for us to follow.

The man Herbie givin us what we need
Brilliant lecture

What a guy!

Such a generous, giving soul he was eh? Treating a fan like that, physically abusing his own band members
Thanks so much for posting
Brilliant.

@45:18 - had to rewind, because I wasn't sure if he really said that. It's pretty deep what he says there.

In fact for two thousand years before the European exploitation of Africa.

still love his music!!
