Summary

*** Time Change *** This will be a performance-oriented ensemble that will focus on the songs of jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock. We will select examples from the various styles he explored during his long and productive career: soul-jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man' 'Cantaloupe Island', modal-jazz songs such as 'Maiden Voyage' (and others he wrote while playing with Miles Davis in the mid-60s), songs written for larger ensembles (from albums 'Speak Like A Child', 'The Prisoner' 'Mwandishi'), funk-jazz classics such as 'Chameleon' plus songs from his numerous Grammy-winning recordings (such as 'River: The Joni Letters').
