In advance of Herbie Hancock's concerts in Auckland and Wellington in October, Nick Tipping takes a trip through Herbie's career- from the early acoustic days of "Takin' Off" to the jazz funk of "Head Hunters", and Herbie's time with Miles Davis.
"What I am is a human being. What I do is play music"; Herbie Hancock talks to Nick Tipping about Miles Davis, the importance of mentorship, and his outlook on life.
