Having just finished his US Summer tour including dates in his home town of Chicago, the 64th edition of Monterey Jazz Festival and at the world famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the first four dates of the European Summer Tour 2022 have been announced.
Herbie will perform in Frankfurt, Bremen, Berlin and Hamburg as he returns to Europe for the first time since 2019. Tickets for all four dates are on sale now.
Now in the sixth decade of his professional life, Herbie remains where he has always been: at the forefront of world culture, technology, business and music. Herbie Hancock has been an integral part of every popular music movement since the 1960’s. As a member of the Miles Davis Quintet that pioneered a ground breaking sound in jazz, he also developed new approaches on his own recordings, followed by his work in the 70s - with record-breaking albums such as "Headhunters" - that combined electric jazz with funk and rock in an innovative style that continues to influence contemporary music. "Rockit" and "Future Shock" marked Hancock's foray into electronic dance sounds; during the same period he also continued to work in an acoustic setting with V.S.O.P.
Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, Institute Chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor, Academy Award and Grammy Award Winner, Herbie is currently in the studio at work on a new album.
Further dates and ticket info will be announced shortly, stay tuned for further news and updates.
