In it he puts his skills as collaborator and accompanist to work with Pink, Seal, India Arie, Jeff Beck, John Legend, Los Lobos, the Chieftains, Chaka Khan, Toumani Diabate and diverse others. But here are three rare video examples of Mr. Hancock in decades past, with a fusion anthem, an experimental electronics-graced ensemble, and all stars playing the theme from his 1960s masterpiece, Maiden Voyage<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Chameleon” by Hancock’s Headhunters, in Chicago, 1974:<\/p>\n

<\/object>
\n“Sleeping Giant” by Hancock’s Mwandishi ensemble of 1972 (Herbie’s Fender Rhodes piano solo kicks in at 1:50)<\/p>\n

\nAnd in 1986, revising his roots on the grand piano for “Maiden Voyage” featuring Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter and Tony Williams from the original recording of 1965, plus tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson.
