Herbie Hancock Trying Quotations

Forget about trying to compete with someone else. Create your own pathway. Create your own new vision,

I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal.

It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.

I was trying to make something truly collaborative,

At first I sounded like any stiff classical musician, trying to play that stuff.

There's Charlie Parker and there's Miles, there's Trane. I'm none of those guys, so why am I beating myself up trying to find the lost chord all the time?

I'm very conscious of the idea of trying to each time present something that I haven't presented before. It's a challenge to me to find something new, to find something innovative, but it's also very exciting.

I learned the importance of being nonjudgmental, taking what happens and trying to make it work.That's something you should apply to life.

I try to practice with my life.
