Today’s edition of Giant Steps pays tribute to pianist Herbie
Hancock, who turns 60 years old today. Hancock was a key member of
Miles Davis’s classic 1960s quintet, and has been a leader in his own right
since 1962. A talented composer, he has been prominent in incorporating
electronic instruments and other genres into jazz, though never abandoning
his strengths as a post-bop acoustic pianist and composer .
