Herbie Hancock The 36th Annual Kennedy Center Honors

[@LikeFreshmusic]

This was a great night for jazz.

[@JavaoftheLava]

Therefore a great night for the world.

[@PianoDanny]

Yes, and heaven knows jazz DESERVES it!

[@andradas9688]

Snoop Dogg's performance is simply fantastic!! Wayne Shorter and Chick Corea, RIP legends.

[@solonghair]

Chick Correa play for Herbie Hancock.. maestro play for maestro

[@amarbyrd2520]

That was AMAZING

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

They are great friends.. Saw them play at Avery Fisher Hall years ago.. Piano duets

[@tarzan2857]

Yes what chick corea and Herbie Hancock plays only they can play very difficult.

[@blanquis1824]

Mmmmm...

[@solonghair]

@@tarzan2857 yups so truee.. needs another maestro to play herb pieces

[@alichamas63]

Just saw Herbie in Sydney, still crushing it at 84! Such an amazing legacy and energy, and always with the highest calibre musicians to match!

[@giac7baci]

This is the best line up Kennedy honors has ever seen in 9 minutes they completely destroy it it's borderline comical how amazing they all are

[@davidjensen4702]

Herbie be grooving that night!

[@paulhartmann6989]

07:16 "thank you for creatin' HipHop" that sentence goes right into his heart and was more to herbie than all other musicians do on this stage this evening!

[@bvihari]

I beg to differ. Snoop respects him with words, other musicians respect him with the best of their other talents. Most positive flattery both.

[@byadyatama]

indeed, j dilla made a crazy sample from herbie's album too.

[@julesunderscore]

balazs vihari I mean, that is his talent, and he’s damn good at it:)

[@rav.n-r]

No.

[@PianoDanny]

I think that, if that honour goes to anyone, it should be to Gil Scott Heron. Hell, yes Herbie had a part to play too. As did Kool Herc.

[@Fed-np9ez]

Santana is like a pure bundle of joy and happiness loving all kinds of existing music on earth

[@jazzman5241]

Herbie Hancock is and will always be my source of inspiration! He is up there with the greatest musicians of all times. And I mean all times....like Bach, Beethoven, Ellington and many more. Thank you Mr. Hancock.

[@slowmotion6870]

totally agree !

[@blanquis1824]

Amen

[@houldenmelville5530]

as in Duke Ellington, I only assume of course; and how about a shout-out to the strong arm of Jazz! I am of course talking about Louis.

[@francismarclim351]

I agree with this wholeheartedly

[@captainnice9698]

I have BIG TIME props for all jazz creators, creating such beauty while surviving all the crap they took in the 40's, 50's and 60s.

[@AnEarfulTV]

Wayne Shorter in a "can do no wrong" moment. He's having a lot of those lately!

[@AnEarfulTV]

Indeed!

[@pickerngrinner1]

Yes!

[@LRS905]

***** nice to see Return to Forever and Weather Report represented here.

[@ibornalone]

Wayne Shorter, you deserve an honor too, one of the great, I feel so blessed to live in your times.

[@etudelife]

Finally, he did!

[@Martines13]

The greatest living indeed...

[@georgeklimes7604]

I was honored to see Herbie in concert a few years ago. He brought the house down. Simply amazing man and talent.

[@susannewiesinger5465]

A genius musician

[@obinnaea2]

Snoop was smooth! lol

[@Ash-se6gh]

never seen so much talent on one stage

[@deelovese]

THIS show should have won an EMMY!!!

[@MartinPLam]

A man whose music has been present through all my adult life is honoured by his peers in a most heartfelt way.....

[@dapunkof1975]

Holy shit this is the cream of the crop when it comes to musicians

[@keysonthego3663]

Wow this is me stumbling into precious treasure!! Thank you. Miss Chick.

[@sebastianweitemeier3600]

Herbie Hancock, the most gifted pianist alive....

[@GeoCoppens]

Ridiculous! Nothing particularly interesting. Old wine in new bags!

[@jemdad99]

Herbie is a genius. Great tribute!

[@kennykent5336]

The level of all the people on the stage ! Wooooooah ! Hall of famers !

[@martinrockport2485]

What a line-up. Absolutely amazing. Snoop Dogg should've never stolen the show... but he does!

[@shavannya]

we gonna miss you Chick...

[@DDH30274]

So proud of our ability to appreciate and acknowledge Masters among us! Thank you President Obama, President Kennedy and our National Leaders in between

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Now, that's a tribute to an American Treasury to this world. Thanks, Herbie for sharing your great gift with us. 💯🎼🎶

[@bernios3446]

Herbie is happy like a baby. What an event! Talent is flowing off the stage and drowning the audience...

[@markswift1489]

Chick Corea's solo at 1.29, so beautiful!

[@sebastianweitemeier3600]

Thank you HH for showing us the way. 70 years of creation and 117 albums.....

[@dieterjohnson3018]

5:54 Obama is really digging Snoop!

[@ruthj1092]

Simply 100% AMAZING

[@megavega4]

It's truly amazing that someone like Herbie who could have easily rested on his laurels and the music he created BEFORE 1980 refused to stay put in a box. He has constantly strived to be relevant and in touch with all genres of music in all different eras. Unlike a lot of his jazz peers who look down on anything that's not jazz.

[@paulreid3273]

Awesome Herbie is a legend and deserves all the recognition he gets. My favorite Keyboard player he's on the music Mount Rushmore in my book.

[@wakajawakka]

Wayne & Chick had a great dialogue goin' during his solo

[@kurtjohnson3917]

Snoop has become such a celebrity, I think people forget what a great rapper he was. Is?

[@rodolfoagustinho7784]

Every single one are a genius on his instrument!

[@etienneduval5044]

Totally dude, the woman on the drums is especially really good

[@ThePirocadoida]

+etienne duval Included the DJ

[@ArnitaBlo]

Terry Lynn Carrington... She was the drummer in Arsenio's house band when his shows first aired...

[@ThePirocadoida]

Off Course!

[@joemusic13]

This show was great and outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Herbie deserved this award!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drcunda1]

A study finds that jazz fans are the happiest people of any genre of music. 😃 No surprises at all... 👍🏼

[@StoryeTime]

Glad you like it, just keep on discovering, jazz can be very free and uplifting!

[@slowmotion6870]

it's never to late to become one.. it's a safe religion..lol.

[@Yagirlnyesha]

Jazz is the greatest genre of all times , it created most other genres.

[@erminoje]

Trust that you are a jazz lover, you just don't know it yet. Just give it some time and do a quite listening to your heartbeat ... some day you'll realize all sound has been jazz all along ..

[@NguyenPham-sg7tk]

Herbie always show the brightest smile everytime he shows up at KCH when others is honored. Now this is his time, truly deserved.

[@alberthaust4542]

Three of my favorite drummers on the stage at the same time.

[@danielhorvathofficial]

[@albinahajd4451]

[@alexbarako3034]

I bet, with 3 musicians out of 5 honorees, this was one of the most amazing Kennedy Center Honors nights ever!

[@MrEarldawkins]

What a proud moment to see legend Brother Herbie. You have moved so many people with your gift me included.

[@antisomething4248]

Saw herbie Hancock in Dublin 2008 and it was a honour

[@nicktardifbass7]

[@julianaalcantara2142]

[@etudelife]

This is such a treasure! too precious to drop by here too many times, so worrying about dilution of the first shock

[@ermiasmikael6275]

like wine, goes more mature with time. Keep watching, won't have such luck until Trump time is over.

[@fionatsang9353]

Me watching this vid: Is that Wayne Shorter? Is that Chick Corea?! Is that Joshua Redman?!? Is that Billy Joel??!!??

[@hbabinger2]

Look at that old Fender Rhodes barely holdin' together!!!

[@TV-mu4re]

와우 너무 좋아요~~^^

[@AronOttignon]

@elf ah shit, you're right. How could of half a beat like. CRAZY!

[@coulton-davisjazz2872]

Three individualists on drums!

[@JulianJayme]

How killin' is this!? I never thought that I would see Kurt Rosenwinkel, Aaron Parks and Joshua Redman soloing on Watermelon Man... Not to mention Wayne's killin' solo and the fact that Vinnie and Marcus Miller are playing on Flip Fantasia.

[@pattyk98]

snoop dogg is pretty killin' too imo

[@JulianJayme]

He is, but I really hate finding out that I posted all these whack comments on a bunch of videos lmao

[@realbro5548]

What a tribute band! Every one of them deserves a tribute too! Obama is the coolest prez ever!

[@madao1335]

Vinnie!!!!!

[@dwightgaston6079]

What a lineup!!!

[@msQbb56]

muito obrigado! Eu devo ouça novamente.

[@successfuluser77]

Miss you Chick..

[@AronOttignon]

awesome beat missed at 06:21! catch if you can

[@clasterlie]

+Aron Ottignon Quite sure that was a Vinnie moment crashing it late on purpose ;)

[@RodrickColbert]

Herbie Hancock is 73 years young!

[@jae2476]

Thank you! That's what i thought but he looked different to me for some reason. What a great performance.

[@tiluriso]

AHH how the F*** did I miss this?!? What a who's who personnel...Snoop is awesome he put parts of 'Gin & Juice' in the middle of 'Cantaloop'. Kurt Rosenwinkel digs The Notorious B.I.G, Q-Tip and many others. I say missing from the roster was Robert Glasper - and no dis To Aaron Parks, he's a great pianist too.

[@cooljob9]

thanks for posting!! love Hancock

[@javierenriquenunezandrade7523]

JAZZ is the GRANDFATHER of HIP HOP ,FUNK ,SOUL ,ROCK ,even ELECTRONIC MUSIC .

[@imuawarriors]

having Mikhail Baryshnekov smile at the end was awesome...

[@MrNiceGuy1422001]

MIX MASTER MIKE!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Guess the tuxedo crowd could only take about 4 minutes of actual jazz. Nevertheless great to see Herbie so honored. Who doesn't ❤️ Herbie?

[@mauriziolelli5615]

Wayne,Wayne,Wayne report!

[@RobertoGonzalez-tn9ji]

Hancock INMENSO!

[@DeanneMason-u4l]

Love this music

[@plvarnier]

first time ever I see Chick Corea with a suit & tie

[@amakaedeaniachufusi8650]

TERENCE BLANCHARD!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@antoniobaldaia5710]

Simply the best...

[@lorenzosalamone8933]

Snoop best performance with the others maestros!

[@DarthClam]

lol great solo Aaron

[@LJG907]

It was killer .........

[@samubar1]

awesome....

[@cliefclinton]

snoop is jazz love it

[@ImDougDimmadome]

my man w/ the clarinet in the beginning was astonishing. he was off beat but so on beat lol. literally what the concept of abstract must sound like

[@sydniesmith8666]

Wassgood Gurl He was playing a Soprano Saxophone in the beginning, not a clarinet. And Wayne Shorter is known for a very "out there" style, it's his essential style, as every jazz musician has one. :) He's very talented on soprano, soprano is one of my instruments, and it's not easy to play by any means.

[@ImDougDimmadome]

thanks for the insight (:

[@Michteld]

this is great

[@AronOttignon]

@jake that was completely intentional as it was rehearsed, you could barely notice, whole band knew about. But wonder if snoop even noticed

[@stepperchic4859]

Love jazz👍🏿👍🏿💋💋💋

[@prinzjaggarvondrachenfels8683]

Great !!!

[@CecilDSouza]

When the best of America honors the greats of America

[@HannahWasHier]

[@henriquemoreira7925]

Ryan Martinie on the saxophone 03:21

[@murenismail1399]

[@javajen19]

Bill O'Reilly shaking hands with Snoop was surreal.

[@J040Z1NH0]
