Herbie Hancock is an American jazz pianist, keyboardist, composer and band leader, born on 12 April 1940 in Chicago, Illinois. He is one of the best-known modern jazz composers, with pieces including 'Watermelon Man', 'Maiden Voyage' and 'Dolphin Dance'. He learned the piano from the age of six and came to wider attention through his work with Davis, moving into jazz fusion from the late 1960s. Carlos Santana is credited here as the joint headliner of the set.
