"Where in the World is Herbie Hancock?"

Jazz in the Schools

We want to ask Herbie about what ideas he might have to keep jazz alive in the schools.

Jazz is an American art form.  Where are the jazz musicians coming from?  

Herbie Hancock is a jazz musician and much more.  We are trying very hard to get an interview with Herbie.  We saw him at the 2008 NAMM  Show and there was a big line of people around the block waiting to shake his hand.  At the time we did not know that he was going to the 2008 Grammy for best contemporary Jazz Album.  Can you believe that Herbie Hancock played a Mozart Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 11.  This means that Herbie can really play the piano.   

What was Herbie Hancock like when he was in elementary school?

What kind of a high school student was Herbie Hancock?

In 1958, Herbie Hancock had a double major in college.  He studied music and electrical engineering at Grinnell College.  It would be a good idea that we listen to his music and if we get lucky, we might just get to interview Herbie Hancock.
