Podcast appearances and mentions of Herbie Hancock

Guests: Greg Loiacano – vocals, guitar Michael Urbano – drums Vicki Randle – percussionIn this episode of Only in the Green Room, we sit down with Greg Loiacono & Stingray, a Bay Area super-group built on deep respect, serious groove, and a whole lot of joy. What started as a solo recording session for Greg Loiacano quickly turned into something much bigger when drummer Michael Urbano stepped in—and the chemistry was instant. Add longtime collaborator and powerhouse percussionist Vicki Randle, and Stingray was born.The trio talks about the unspoken language that defines their music: listening more than talking, playing for the song, and letting structure and feel guide everything. Influenced by classic soul, R&B, funk, and rock—from Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye to Sly Stone and beyond—Stingray's sound feels timeless but alive in the moment.We dig into:How the band formed organically (and accidentally)Why joy and laughter are non-negotiable onstageThe rare magic of musicians who truly listen to one anotherPlaying parts instead of overplayingBalancing Stingray with busy touring and recording schedulesRecording at the legendary 2200 Studios and feeling the weight of Bay Area music historyWhat's next: new singles, more shows, and getting back into the studioWith lineup support from Tom Ayer's, Kofi Brown, and Danny Eisenberg, Stingray is prioritizing what matters most—great songs, great vibes, and genuine connection.If you've ever wondered what it looks like when seasoned musicians stop chasing “projects” and start chasing feeling, this conversation says it all.New singles out now:Come Back HomeI Hope We Get to DanceRecorded backstage, moments after finishing their November 2025 set at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California —because the best conversations always happen only in the green room.Greg Loiacono.

Jazz, in particular, has played a central role in this lineage. From John Coltrane's “Alabama,” to Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln's We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, from Nina Simone's “Mississippi Goddamn” to Charles Mingus' “Fables of Faubus,” jazz has always spoken truth to power. That tradition continues today, ascontemporary jazz musicians compose artistic eulogies for Oscar Grant III, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, and George Floyd; celebrate the nation's first Black president; and reaffirm that “Black Is Beautiful,” more than 60 years after the phrase became a unifying call within the Black PowerMovement. Jazz also chronicled the life and journey of Dr. King in real time, beginning with his emergence as a young preacher and activist in the early 1950s, and has continued to honor his legacy in the decades since his life was cut short. On thisspecial episode of Milestones, we explore the role jazz played inadvancing King's philosophy and celebrating his extraordinary impact as one of the most consequential leaders in American history with NEA Jazz Master and four-time GRAMMY-winning artist and educator Terri Lyne Carrington, GRAMMY-winning bassist and vocalist Ben Williams, and GRAMMY-nominated pianist and curator Orrin Evans. Together, with host Angélika Beener, they reflect on pieces like Herbie Hancock's 1969 “I Have a Dream,” and more, examining their cultural impact and role in the musical evolution of jazz. Hip-hop historians T.L. Cross and WBGO's own Stevan Smith also join the conversation,shedding new light on “King Holiday,” the 1986 hip-hop and R&B anthem that united an ensemble of rising stars—from New Edition and Run-DMC to Whitney Houston and Stephanie Mills. With the late Dexter Scott King at the helm, Kurtis Blow was tasked with assembling a collective to create an anthem for thenext generation – one that would honor Dr. King's legacy and serve as the soundtrack for the inaugural MLK holiday celebration, 40 years ago. The iconic scholar, author, global thought leader and visionary Dr. Angela Davis joins as a very special guest, offering remarkable insights on this milestone anniversary.

Sångerskan och låtskrivaren Joni Mitchell fick ett helt nytt sound när hon började att samarbeta med jazzmusiker. Berit Nygren berättar hur. Ett program från Jazzradion i P2. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. I mitten av 1970-talet stod Joni Mitchell på toppen av sin dåvarande karriär. Hon hade fått sin dittills största kommersiella framgång med albumet ”Court and spark” 1974, men något skavde.Mitchell ville lämna rockens fyrkantiga rytmik och forma sin egen rytmik, precis som hon tidigare hade lämnat gitarrens standardstämning och börjat att stämma gitarren efter eget huvud. Att hon skulle ha gått och blivit ”jazzmusiker” där i mitten av 70-talet protesterade hon emot när dåvarande Sveriges Radio-medarbetaren Mikael Nilsson intervjuade henne 1988.Det får ni höra vid sidan av andra delar som jag Berit Nygren har hämtat från Mikael Nilssons intervju och vävt in omlott med musik från 1976 då hennes samarbeten med jazzmusiker började på allvar. Då släppte hon sitt första album med jazzbasisten Jaco Pastorius och här får ni höra Mitchell i musik med Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock och Peter Erskine men också med Larry Klein och kompositören, arrangören och dirigenten Vince Mendoza. Med de båda sistnämnda och Shorter gjorde hon det prisade albumet ”Both sides now” (2000).Här får ni också höra musik ur hennes ikoniska album ”Blue” från 1971.Källor:Joni Mitchells officiella hemsida https://jonimitchell.com/”Joni on Joni; interviews and encounters” redaktör Susan Whitall (Chicago Review Press, 2020) ”Joni Mitchell in her own words; conversations with Malka Marom” (ECW Press, 2014)Kontakta Jazzradion - och följ oss i sociala medier!

Kaum ein anderer Jazzschlagzeuger hat seine Bandmitglieder während ihrer Soli so kraftvoll vorangetrieben und - im besten Sinn - herausgefordert wie der US-Amerikaner Tony Williams. Und dies bereits im zarten Alter von 17 Jahren. Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock und viele andere liessen sich von den kreativen Ideen des jungen Ausnahmetalents inspirieren, das ab den 1960ern mit seiner Spielart das Jazzschlagzeug für immer veränderte. Auch der Zürcher Schlagzeuger Jonas Ruther sagt, er sei von Tony Williams beeinflusst. Er ist in dieser Jazz Collection Gast von Roman Hošek.

Tell Us How You Really FeelThe needle drops and the room changes—horns breathe, drums loosen, and a sampler starts talking back. We dive into the living thread between jazz and beat culture, from Congo Square and brass bands to dusty chops, off-grid drums, and the global scenes building tomorrow's standards today. The journey moves through the roots—rebellion, soul, spiritual release—into the eras of big band glory, commercial decline, and the underground that kept the flame alive until hip-hop cracked open the vault and let the swing back out.We explore how producers like DJ Premier, Pete Rock, J Dilla, Madlib, and Nujabes reintroduced jazz aesthetics to a new generation, turning horn riffs, Rhodes chords, and brushed cymbals into modern language. Along the way, we spotlight the cities and crews shaping the current wave: London's Yussef Dayes, Kamaal Williams, and Shabaka Hutchings; LA's Kamasi Washington and Terrace Martin; global innovators from Italy, Austria, Japan, and beyond. Labels and collectives like Jazz Is Dead bridge elders and explorers, proving the tradition evolves best when it's shared.Between records, we trade stories and facts that link technique to technology—Miles facing the band for deeper communication, Coltrane's relentless practice, Raymond Scott's early electronic machines, and how big band sessions birthed mic placement and room capture approaches that shaped modern studios and DAWs. Herbie Hancock reminds us that jazz is conversation: musicians, audience, and energy in constant exchange. Beat culture carries that forward—looping, bending, and improvising with machines as instruments. Ride with us, discover new artists and essential beat tapes, and feel the continuity: jazz never died; it reincarnated in the pads.If you felt the groove, subscribe, rate, and share with a friend.

This week on Jazz After Dinner, Joe features Pianist and Composer Herbie Hancock from his 2002 Verve Records recording titled “Directions In Music.” 

Die Karriere von Billy Hart war alles andere als geradlinig. Zwar spielte er für die ganz Grossen, für den Jahrhunderttrompeter Miles Davis, oder für die Sängerin-Pianistin Shirley Horn. Er musste aber auch viele Rückschläge einstecken, wurde vom Pianisten McCoy Tyner gefeuert, war wohl bei Herbie Hancock in der Mwandishi-Band dabei, bei den kommerziell erfolgreicheren «Head Hunters» dann aber nicht mehr. Dass der Weg tatsächlich wichtiger ist als das Ziel, und wie zentral die eigene Haltung gegenüber dem Scheitern ist, davon erzählt der 85jährige Billy Hart in seiner Autobiographie «Oceans of Time». Das Buch mit Begeisterung gelesen hat der Pianist Chris Wiesendanger: Er bringt es mit und dazu seine Lieblingsmusik von Billy Hart - in die JazzCollection mit Jodok Hess. - - Die gespielten Titel: Interpret:in: Titel (Album / Label) - Jimmy Smith: I Got a Woman (Jimmy Smith and the Trio: Salle Pleyel - May 28, 1965 / Trema) - Shirley Horn: I'm Old Fashioned (A Lazy Afternoon / Steeple Chase) - Herbie Hancock: Ostinato (Suite for Angela) (Mwandishi / Warnder Bros.) - Miles Davis: One and One (On the Corner / Columbia) - João Gilberto, Stan Getz: Eu Vim da Bahia (Stan Getz: The Best of Two Worlds. feat.

Paris-born Wally Badarou traces his ancestry to Benin, West Africa—but he is thoroughly and unmistakably French. When it comes to music, however, his inspiration reflects a rich blend of international influences. A pioneering keyboardist, producer, and session musician, Wally has long embraced technology as an integral part of his creative process—one of the key motivations that led him to collaborate with the band Level 42. If you've heard their music, you've heard Wally's touch: his musical structures, melodies, and productions are woven into many of their biggest hits. Although he was never an official member of the band, he co-wrote many of their more prominent songs, shaping the band's signature sound. Beyond that, his remarkable career includes collaborations with legends such as Herbie Hancock, M, Talking Heads, Grace Jones, Robert Palmer, and many others. It's the story of a truly global musician—one who views music through an international lens. Inside MusiCast proudly welcomes Wally Badarou.

Episode 91: Christian McBride. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride is one of the most influential jazz artists in the game. His collaborations span icons like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, James Brown, and Sting. He's the leader of multiple acclaimed bands including the Christian McBride Big Band, Inside Straight, and New Jawn. He also serves as the host of NPR's Jazz Night in America and was the Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival for a decade. His story is incredible, and we're setting the stage here with Part 1, The Early Years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Christian was surrounded by greatness. His high school classmates included Questlove, Black Thought, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, just to name a few. In this episode, we talk about those formative years, the Philly music scene, and how he broke into the spotlight with Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, along with the wild story of his rare opportunity to play for Miles Davis. We also get into his professional mentality, early lessons on leadership, and what it took to earn respect from legends while still a teenager. Christian is an amazing storyteller, and this conversation is full of history, heart, and laughs. We had the best time recording this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Lets go!

Pocas veces estuvo tan claro el hecho de que, para los ciudadanos periodistas, nunca se trata de lo que se dice sino de quién lo dice. Hay quien puede hacer y decir lo que le venga en gana, ya sea encararse con los rivales, autoproclamarse el rey, el mejor, o acusar a un club rival de robar. Si lo hace Lamina Yamal, del Barça y la Selección Española, se buscarán mil y un excusas, mil y un argumentos para disculparle y minimizar los daños. Si lo hace otro, pongamos que Vinicius, no le salva nadie del pelotón de fusilamiento.

We look at the proposed Milwaukee County budget, and learn how major improvement projects could impact property taxes. Jazz legend Herbie Hancock joins talks about how he continues to improvise. Live at Lake Effect featuring classical guitarist René Izquierdo.

We start the episode with a chat about artists that drastically changed their sound over the years – from the Beatles to Cher to Alanis to Herbie Hancock to Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac to Beyonce. Speaking of artists that changed their sound, how about the Bee Gees? They started out as a folky pop band and changed their sound to R&B in the mid ‘70s to out and out disco by 1977. We have an excellent 1989 Brad Giffen interview with Barry Gibb as he talks about the groups desire to keep going in spite of the backlash they faced after Saturday Night Fever. It cast a long shadow on them, but they endured by writing hit songs for other artists. Then, we have a really fun chat with Jason Mraz from 2012 and 2014. You get a real sense of who he is - an almost old school hippy vibe that’s really endearing. Plus, some audio from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s with the great George Benson – a jazz giant who had lots of commercial success. He has some great insights as well. And then we chat with one of Christopher’s favourite people – Ian Thomas – who has had a whole string of hit records that Canadians know and love – and some of those songs were covered by the likes of Santana, Manfred Mann and America. Ian is one of the newest inductees into the Canadian songwriters Hall Of Fame – which is coming up on Fri, Oct 17 at the Meridian Centre in Toronto. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville.

Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral.    Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album.    Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan. 

In this GB Classic, Mitch Albom shares the stories behind his bestselling books and how they're really about living fully, loving deeply, and making a difference.

How did a jazz innovator help bring hip-hop into the mainstream with one groundbreaking instrumental? Diallo and LUXXURY explore Herbie Hancock's 1983 hit “Rockit,” the electro avant-garde experiment that elevated scratching as an art form and ushered jazz into the future.

Episode Overview In this episode of The Design Vault, hosts Albert Shum and Thamer Abanami are joined by legendary producer Dan the Automator Nakamura (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon) to explore the Technics SL-1200 MK2 — the direct drive DJ turntable that evolved from an audiophile product into a central instrument for hip hop, house, and techno DJs and producers. From Konosuke Matsushita's long-term “250-year philosophy” to Grand Wizard Theodore's scratching breakthrough, this is the story of how Japanese engineering precision met street creativity to create one of the most influential musical instruments of the late 20th century. Dan shares personal stories of witnessing a young Qbert and Mix Master Mike before fame, why the 1200 is often called the “Porsche 911 of turntables,” and how the constraints of early sampling technology shaped hip hop's signature sound.

F**k'd up world, ain't it Untitled Beatle People? Like all rational weirdos, we're fed up with the fascism that (as of this writing) has removed Jimmy Kimmel from the airwaves. We stand with a fellow comic and avowed Beatles/Letterman stan, and against both censorship and emotionally crippled, diabolical jag bags. Fortunately… we have the perfect antidote to the state of the world, as we go back through the mists of time (cue “The Long & Winding Road” from “Tripping The Live Fantastic”)…to a time they call the 60's (…more magic piano blues noodling…) and welcome a die-hard, O.G. Beatles fan and Chicago legend, “Beatle” Fred Ciba! From being at the Beatles historic Chicago shows to shopping at the Apple Boutique and visiting the original Cavern Club, Fred experienced it all, in real time. Join us as Fred provides a fascinating glimpse into the exhilaration of Beatlemania, as heard on Chicago's bygone, legendary rock radio stations like WLS, WIND, and WCFL. Fred also puts up with a fair amount of unnecessary, and, arguably, outright disrespectful nonsense from T.J. (YA SHOCKED?) as the Gab Two also ask:

Gonzalo Rubalcaba is a Grammy-winning Cuban pianist and composer celebrated as one of the most innovative voices in modern jazz. He'll be performing at Indy Jazz Fest on September 19. Born in Havana in 1963 to a musical family, Rubalcaba was classically trained before emerging as a prodigy of the city's vibrant jazz scene. His virtuosic technique quickly drew international attention, leading to collaborations with legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Haden, and Herbie Hancock. In his conversation with WFYI's Kyle Long, Rubalcaba discusses his connection to Dizzy Gillespie and his latest album, “A Tribute to Benny Moré and Nat King Cole.”

Today we're going on an aquatic journey with Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. Herbie calls the title track the best tune he's ever written.  We dive deep into the music to explore what makes this tune, and this album, great. The roots of Maiden Voyage date back in 1963, when Herbie began hearing rumors that Miles Davis wanted to hear him play. He didn't believe it at first -- Miles was at the height of his celebrity by this point. But soon he got a call. He went over to Miles's house and played with him, George Coleman, Tony Williams and Ron Carter for three days. On the third day, Miles asks the group to come to studio to record Seven Steps to Heaven. Herbie says, "Does that mean I'm in the band?" Miles says, "You're making the record, mother f**cker!" After two years playing in what many call the one of the greatest jazz ensembles of all time, Herbie would release Maiden Voyage in 1965. Along with George, Tony and Ron, plus saxophonist Freddie Hubbard. Although it is one of his simplest tunes -- with a rhythm inspired by a cologne commercial -- Maiden Voyage would become a favorite and a standard among jazz musicians. In this episode, you'll hear:- Adam and Peter pick apart the greatest moments from the album, including some perfect solos- The story of the commercial roots of this jazz standard- Where the record got its aquatic theme- Why a great song starts with a great bassline (just ask Ron Carter)- How this record could have been even better ... if it weren't for that piano sound- Where we land on Van Gelder Sound controversy-----Keyboards? Albums we haven't covered. "Boomer" talk. We know you have opinions about this show. Help us make You'll Hear It better by sharing your feedback with us and answering a short survey.
