Here's a great article about the innovative jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock. Sounds like a really interesting guy, and one who only began to shine once he played the way he wanted to play. Miles Davis encouraged him early in his career, and the rest, as they say, is history. Check out this update on Herbie, his family, his gadgets, and what makes him tick:

It seems that it's been awhile since you've posted anything on your Blog, but I must say that I'm really interested in the topic. I'm thinking of starting something similar to this and wanted to see what was out there first. Do you have anything more current?
Thanks!

What an excellent Miles Davis quote. It goes to show that at the highest levels practicing becomes an art. Thanks for the post.
Great quote and so true, part of learning to improvise and play jazz happens within a band scenario, Miles was and still is such an inspiration.
