Herbie and the band are currently on the road on their Spring 24 Tour. Limited tickets are available in certain markets.

Herbie Hancock has teamed up with Vinyl Me Please to curate VMP Anthology: The Story of Herbie Hancock — an 8 album, 11 LP to celebrate his 80th birthday, and more than 60 years of altering the landscape of jazz.

The set includes albums spanning over his five-plus-decade career — from early albums as a bandleader, to later fusions of jazz with funk and hip-hop, and Grammy-winning work from the ’00s — these eight albums were selected to represent the scope of his work.

Housed in a custom designed box, the albums have been remastered by Bernie Grundman from the highest quality original audio source available (most of the albums are AAA), and pressed at GZ.

You’ll also receive exclusive access to a podcast series hosted by Touré which features interviews with Wayne Shorter, Corinne Bailey Rae, Robert Glasper, and many more! The first pressing is limited to 1,500 copies and ships Winter, 2020. 

This should be fun…

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 9th annual International Jazz Day worldwide celebration will transition to a virtual format for 2020 instead of taking place as previously planned in Cape Town, South Africa and other locations around the world on April 30th.  

International Jazz Day 2020 will take place online and be hosted by Herbie Hancock. The day’s centerpiece will be a virtual Global Concert featuring artists from across the globe, streamed live on jazzday.com.The concert will begin at 3:00 pm US eastern standard time (19:00 UTC) and will feature performances by John McLaughlin, Jane Monheit, Alune Wade, John Beasley, Ben Williams, Lizz Wright, John Scofield, Igor Butman, Evgeny Pobozhiy, Youn Sun Nah, A Bu, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves and Joey DeFrancesco, among others.

Leading up to the virtual Global Concert, there will be a free series of educational masterclasses, children’s activities and discussions via web conference featuring renowned educators and jazz artists, streamed live via jazzday.com. 

The program will also include a panel hosted by Nate Chinen, Director of Editorial Content for WBGO and chief jazz contributor to NPR Music, addressing how International Jazz Day, and art in general, can be a relevant response to the social isolation precipitated by the current public health crisis. The panel will feature artist participants including GRAMMY Award-winning bassist and composer Marcus Miller and legendary South African vocalist Sibongile Khumalo. A live audience will be able to submit questions throughout the session. NPR will co-host a live stream of the virtual International Jazz Day activities. Learn more at jazzday.com
