| Herbie Hancock is a jazz pianist and composer. He embraced elements of rock and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. Familiar chord changes in bebop were replaced by fewer, but more exotic chord changes. Herbie Hancock also was influenced largely by funk, particularly the music of James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone. The walking bass pattern associated with swing music was replaced by repetitive bass ostinatos and vamps that emphasized a groove. In 1969, his Fat Albert Rotunda, was a return to '66 Rhythm and Blues. In that album, solos were in short supply. It sounded more like a big band covering rock music. |
