Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American pianist, bandleader and composer. He is regarded not only as one of the greatest living jazz musicians, but also as one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century.  His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz.

Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences.
