Album
Sound-System is the thirty-sixth album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock and the second of three albums with the Rockit Band. The second of the three Rockit band albums, Sound-System was another smash for Herbie Hancock. Winning his second Grammy award for Best R&B Performance his second-straight award, this album tried to capture the success of the previous Future Shock, with some more twists and turns. Herbie Hancock: все альбомы, включая The Essential Herbie Hancock , Triple Best Of , The Complete Blue Note Sixties Sessions и другие. Yet Hancock's experiments with techno-pop were leading him in the general direction of Africa, explicitly so with the addition of the Gambian multi-instrumentalist Foday Musa Suso on half of the tracks.

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock born April 12, 1940 is a jazz pianist and composer from Chicago, Illinois, United States. Hancock is one of jazz music's most important and influential pianis read more. Hancock is one of jazz music's most important and influential pianists and composers. Born April 12, 1940 in Chicago, Herbie Hancock began studying piano at the age of seven. Classically trained, he later formed his own jazz ensemble in high school. Eventually he was giggin with Coleman Hawkins and Donald Byrd. It had a guitar-like sound, like a cross between a guitar and a harpsichord. I thought maybe if I played the Clavinet in a rhythmic way like a guitar, I wouldnt have to use a guitar player. Thats what I did. Herbie played this instrument on his album Head Hunters in 1973. Minimoog First released in 1970, this monophonic analog synthesizer offered musicians a synthesizer they could easily take on tour for live performance because of its size and durability.
