Herbie Hancock is a well known jazz piano player. His career was great and he could have kept just enjoying it - Ego comfort!
Innovation is creating beauty in a state of survival. And this means nothing without putting it in a context. In our peaceful society (not Machiavelli's one) changes come from normal evolution or slow crisis. This one came from talent and passion. In the early 80's, this pianist did a masterpiece. Rare can really pretend to have had the same influence. It's a classic in rap music and in techno.
The following video makes every opera production pale in comparison. It involves robotic, dancing, electronics, scratching, video graphics, improvisation, composition inventions... and it still grooves!!! Unbelievable the number of innovations. From a historical perspective, it's a white stone. This is in 1984!
This is just the reason why I came to this country in 1984 - innovation! Thanks for always stretching our minds and expanding our perceptions of what's truly possible.
