Herbert Jeffrey Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, bandleader and composer. As part of Miles Davis's "second great quintet", Hancock helped redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section, and was one of the primary architects of the "post-bop" sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers and funk. Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Hancock's best-known solo works include "Cantaloupe Island", "Watermelon Man" (later performed by dozens of musicians, including bandleader Mongo Santamaría), "Maiden Voyage", "Chameleon", and the singles "I Thought It Was You" and "Rockit". His 2007 tribute album River: The Joni Letters won the 2008 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, only the second jazz album ever to win the award after Getz/Gilberto in 1965. As a member of Soka Gakkai, Hancock is an adherent of the Nichiren school of Mahayana Buddhism.

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock ist ein US-amerikanischer Jazzmusiker, Bandleader und Komponist. Er begann seine Karriere in der Gruppe des Trompeters Donald Byrd. Bald darauf schloss er sich dem Miles Davis Quintett an, wo er die Rolle der Jazz-Rhythmusgruppe maßgeblich prägte und zu den Wegbereitern des Post-Bop-Sounds zählte. In den 1970er-Jahren experimentierte er mit Jazz-Fusion, Funk und elektronischen Stilen und nutzte dabei eine Vielzahl von Synthesizern und elektronischen Geräten. In dieser Zeit veröffentlichte er eines seiner bekanntesten und einflussreichsten Alben, „Head Hunters“.

Né le 12 avril 1940 à Chicago, Herbert Jeffrey Hancock est un pianiste, claviériste et compositeur américain de jazz, l'une des figures les plus influentes de la musique du XXe siècle. Enfant prodige, il interprète un concerto de Mozart avec le Chicago Symphony Orchestra à onze ans. En 1963, il intègre le second grand quintet de Miles Davis aux côtés de Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter et Tony Williams, expérience fondatrice qui redéfinit les codes du jazz. En parallèle, il signe chez Blue Note Records et publie des albums devenus référentiels : *Takin' Off* (1962), *Maiden Voyage* (1965) et *Empyrean Isles* (1964). Dans les années 1970, il embrasse le jazz-funk avec *Head Hunters* (1973) et son tube *Chameleon*, puis révolutionne à nouveau les codes avec *Rockit* (1983), pionnier du scratch en musique populaire. Il remporte un Oscar pour la bande originale du film *Autour de minuit* (1986) et cumule quatorze Grammy Awards, dont l'Album de l'Année pour *River: The Joni Letters* (2007). Ambassadeur de bonne volonté de l'UNESCO depuis 2011, il reste une figure cardinale de la musique mondiale.

赫伯特·杰弗里·汉考克(Herbert Jeffrey Hancock,1940年4月12日-),美国钢琴家、乐队领队和作曲家。作为迈尔斯·戴维斯(Miles Davis)的“第二大五重奏”的一部分,汉考克帮助重新定义了爵士节奏部分的角色,并且是“后波普”声音的主要建筑师之一。他是最早接受合成器和放克的爵士音乐家之一。汉考克的音乐通常旋律优美,易于理解;他有许多歌曲“跨界”,并在流行观众中取得了成功。他的音乐融合了放克和灵魂乐的元素,同时采用了爵士乐中更自由的风格元素。在他的爵士乐即兴创作中,他将爵士乐、蓝调和现代古典音乐独特地融合在一起,其和声风格很像克劳德·德彪西和莫里斯·拉威尔的风格。 汉考克最著名的独奏作品包括“哈密瓜岛”、“西瓜人”(后来由数十位音乐家演奏,包括乐队领队蒙戈·圣玛丽亚)、“少女之旅”、“变色龙”以及单曲“我以为是你”和“Rockit”。他2007年的致敬专辑《River: The Joni Letters》获得了2008年格莱美年度专辑奖,这是继1965年的《Getz/Gilberto》之后第二张获得该奖项的爵士专辑。 作为创价学会的成员,汉考克是大乘佛教日莲学派的信徒。
