Kisah Herbie Hancock Logo
Join Herbie on a journey through his adventurous, unpredictable catalog.
It’s hip-hop, it’s jazz, it’s R&B, it’s pop. It was exciting for me to put something together that I haven’t heard anyone else do.

Herbie Hancock

A great series unfolds in episodes

...and the best stories are told in chapters. Herbie Hancock’s 60 years of music and stories need time to tell, and who better than from the man himself? Herbie picked these titles to represent his legendary music career. This eight album, 11LP set tells Herbie’s story from a young upstart playing records with his heroes, to the legend shattering the preconceptions of jazz, to the icon winning Grammys. The box will ship with eight albums inside, and come with an exclusive podcast series that features interviews with Herbie himself, along with many of his fellow artists and collaborators, that will guide you over a 4-week listening experience.
