Herbie Hancock has confirmed the first dates on his upcoming tour of Europe.

There are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B than Herbie Hancock. As the immortal Miles Davis said in his autobiography:

Herbie was the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven’t heard anybody yet who has come after him.“

Hancock pioneered a ground-breaking sound in Jazz, developing new approaches on his own recordings, followed by his work in the 70s – with record-breaking albums like “Headhunters“, that combined electric jazz with funk and rock in an innovative style.

Now in the sixth decade of his professional life, and celebrating his 80th birthday in 2020, Herbie Hancock remains where he has always been: at the forefront of culture, technology, business and music. Though one can’t track exactly where he will go next, he is sure to leave his inimitable imprint wherever he lands.

Throughout his explorations, he has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice. With an illustrious career spanning six decades and 14 Grammy Awards, he continues to amaze audiences across the globe.

More dates will be announced shortly.
