Our Take

Herbie Hancock, the man, the myth, the legend. Some may call him a jazz genius, others a musical pioneer. But one thing’s for sure, he’s always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of music. So when he decided to release "The New Standard" on Verve By Request, you better believe we were all ears.

This album is a smorgasbord of reimagined classics, with Hancock putting his unique spin on timeless tunes. From the smooth grooves of "Norwegian Wood" to the funky vibes of "Thieves in the Temple," every track is a treat for the ears.

Hancock’s piano skills are on full display here, effortlessly weaving in and out of each song with precision and flair. His bandmates, including Dave Holland on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, provide the perfect backdrop for Hancock to shine.

But what really sets "The New Standard" apart is Hancock’s ability to make these familiar songs his own. Whether he’s adding a Latin twist to "Thelonious" or giving "Don’t Stop" a fresh coat of paint, Hancock proves once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.

So do yourself a favor and give "The New Standard" a spin. Whether you’re a die-hard jazz fan or just looking for something new to listen to, Herbie Hancock’s latest effort is sure to hit all the right notes.

Born in Chicago in 1940, Hancock quickly made a name for himself as a prodigious pianist, earning a scholarship to study at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music at the age of 11.

Tracks like "Chameleon" and "Watermelon Man" showcase his ability to fuse disparate musical elements into a seamless whole, while his collaborations with artists like Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder demonstrate his versatility and creativity. But Hancock is more than just a musician – he is also a tireless innovator and educator, constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and creativity in his pursuit of musical excellence. From his pioneering work with synthesizers in the 1970s to his recent experiments with virtual reality and artificial intelligence, Hancock is always looking towards the future, eager to explore new frontiers in music and technology. With a career that has spanned multiple genres and generations, Herbie Hancock is a true musical legend, a visionary artist who continues to inspire and challenge audiences around the world. He may have won 14 Grammy Awards, but for Hancock, the music is always the most important thing. And for that, we salute him.
