    One of the things I really appreciate about Herbie Hancock is that he always allows all of the other musicians to be featured, it never feels like it's really led by one person, it always feels like every musician plays their own role and is equally important

    Not only did he use a beer bottle as an instrument, he literally tuned the pitch of the bottle to the song by sipping the right amount out of it! Crazy

      Not to mention Bennie's inimitable, haunting, mid-eastern quality he always brings to woodwinds--his soprano, baritone horn or bass clarinet always make me visualize pyrimids with saucers circling ready to pick someone up and transport them to Mt. Sumeru leaving a trail of pink, silver, and light blue fairy dust behind.

    People think jazz is uptight and all (which is not historically the case - it's always been fun) but no, jazz musicians can be way more entertaining to see live than most pop and rock artists. This is proof.
