We have a pair of tickets to give away to see HERBIE HANCOCK with THE ROBERT GLASPER EXPERIMENT and JAMIE LIDELL AND THE ROYAL PHARAOHS, a benefit concert for BRIC CELEBRATE BROOKLYN! FESTIVAL, at Prospect Park Bandshell on Thursday, August 11th!

In addition to being recognized as a legendary pianist and composer, Herbie Hancock has been an integral part of every jazz movement since the 1960s. As a member of the Miles Davis Quintet, he became one of the pioneers of the avant garde sound. His recordings during the '70s combined electric jazz with funk and rock sounds in an innovative style that continues to influence contemporary music. "Rockit" and "Future Shock" marked Hancock's foray into electronic dance music and included several chart-topping hits; during the same period he continued to work in an acoustic setting with V.S.O.P., which included ex-Miles Davis bandmates Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. Hancock has received an Academy Award for his Round Midnight film score and 14 Grammy Awards, including Album Of The Year for "River: The Joni Letters" and two 2011 Grammy Awards for his recently released globally collaborative CD, "The Imagine Project." Many of his compositions, including "Canteloupe Island," "Maiden Voyage," "Watermelon Man," and "Chameleon," are modern standards that have had a profound effect on all styles of modern music.
