Born in Chicago in 1940, Herbie was a child piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11. He began playing jazz in high school, initially influenced by Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. He also developed a passion for electronics and science, and double-majored in music and electrical engineering at Grinnell College.
 
In 1963, Miles Davis invited Herbie to join the Miles Davis Quintet. During his five years with Davis, Herbie and his colleagues Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums) recorded many classics, including 'ESP', 'Nefertiti' and 'Sorcerer'. Later on, Herbie made appearances on Davis' groundbreaking 'In a Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew', which heralded the birth of jazz-fusion.
 
Herbie's own solo career blossomed on Blue Note, with classic albums including 'Maiden Voyage', 'Empyrean Isles', and 'Speak Like a Child'. He composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film 'Blow Up', which led to a successful career in feature film and television music.

1970s: The Headhunters and VSOP

After leaving Davis, Herbie put together a new band called The Headhunters and, in 1973, recorded 'Head Hunters.' With its crossover hit single "Chameleon," it became the first jazz album to go platinum. 
 
By mid-decade, Herbie was playing for stadium-sized crowds all over the world and had no fewer than four albums in the pop charts at once. In total, Herbie had 11 albums in the pop charts during the 1970s. His ’70s output inspired and provided samples for generations of hip-hop and dance music artists. 
 
Herbie also stayed close to his love of acoustic jazz in the ’70s, recording and performing with VSOP (reuniting him with his Miles Davis colleagues), and in duet settings with Chick Corea and Oscar Peterson.

1980s: Future Shock, Film & TV

In 1980, Herbie introduced the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis to the world as a solo artist, producing his debut album and touring with him as well. In 1983, a new pull to the alternative side led Herbie to a series of collaborations with Bill Laswell. The first, 'Future Shock', again struck platinum, and the single "Rockit" rocked the dance and R&B charts, winning a Grammy for Best R&B Instrumental. The video of the track won five MTV awards. 'Sound System', the follow-up, also received a Grammy in the R&B instrumental category. 
 
Herbie won an Oscar in 1986 for scoring the film "'Round Midnight", in which he also appeared as an actor. Numerous television appearances over the years led to two hosting assignments in the 1980s: "Rock School" on PBS and Showtime's "Coast To Coast".
 
After an adventurous 1994 project for Mercury Records, 'Dis Is Da Drum', he moved to the Verve label, forming an all-star band to record 1996's Grammy-winning 'The New Standard'. In 1997, an album of duets with Wayne Shorter, '1+1', was released.

1990s: Verve Records and Headhunters Reunited

After an adventurous 1994 project for Mercury Records, 'Dis Is Da Drum', he moved to the Verve label, forming an all-star band to record 1996's Grammy-winning 'The New Standard'. In 1997, an album of duets with Wayne Shorter, '1+1', was released. 
 
The legendary Headhunters reunited in 1998, recording an album for Herbie's own Verve-distributed imprint, and touring with the Dave Matthews Band. That year also marked the recording and release of  'Gershwin's World', which included collaborators Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Kathleen Battle, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Wayne Shorter and Chick Corea. 'Gershwin's World' won three Grammys in 1999, including Best Traditional Jazz Album and Best R&B Vocal Performance for Stevie Wonder's "St. Louis Blues." 

2000, Album of the Year and Today

Herbie reunited with Bill Laswell to collaborate with some young hip-hop and techno artists on 2001's FUTURE2FUTURE. He also joined with Roy Hargrove and Michael Brecker in 2002 to record a live concert album, 'Directions In Music: Live at Massey Hall', a tribute to John Coltrane and Miles Davis. 
 
'Possibilities', released in August 2005, teamed Herbie with many popular artists, such as Sting, Annie Lennox, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, Paul Simon, Carlos Santana, Joss Stone and Damien Rice. That year, he played a number of concert dates with a re-staffed Headhunters, and became the first-ever Artist-In-Residence at the Tennessee-based festival Bonnaroo.
 
In 2007, Hancock recorded and released 'River: The Joni Letters', a tribute to longtime friend and collaborator Joni Mitchell featuring Wayne Shorter, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and co-produced by Larry Klein. He enlisted vocalists Norah Jones, Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae, Luciana Souza, Leonard Cohen and Mitchell herself to perform songs she wrote or was inspired by. The album received glowing reviews and was a year-end Top 10 choice for many critics. It also garnered three GRAMMY nominations, and two wins for Best Contemporary Jazz Album and Album of The Year. This marked only the second time in history a jazz album has won music’s highest honor with the last taking place almost 50 years prior.
 
To cap off his illustrious career to date, Verve records released ‘Then and Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock’ in 2008. This essential collection is the first-ever career retrospective of the jazz visionary’s unparalleled work. 
 
Herbie Hancock also maintains a thriving career outside the performing stage and recording studio. He is the Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, and serves as Institute Chairman of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, the foremost international organization devoted to the development of jazz performance and education worldwide. He is also a founder of The International Committee of Artists for Peace (ICAP).
 
Now in the fifth decade of his professional life, Herbie Hancock remains where he has always been: in the forefront of world culture, technology, business and music. Though one can't track exactly where he will go next, he is sure to leave his inimitable imprint wherever he lands.

The debut album from Coney Island Sound: Klang!, is released on the Score Draw Music label and accompanied by remixes from Bitmap, Thrash Hat and Minotaur Shock.

It's a collage of light hearted cut-and-paste electronic music made at the seaside by sound archivist, Ewan Gordon.

Coney Island Sound is a project that fuses together samples of old recordings, junkshop synths, found sounds and acoustic instruments in a folk and electronica influenced mix.

Recently, "The Lemonade Song" was chosen as Lauren Laverne's headphones moment on her BBC6 Music breakfast show. 

Additionally Introducing Mr Kellogg was featured on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone and Klang aired on national and regional BBC Introducing shows including Tom Robinson's show and BBC Across The Line.

Album tracks regularly feature on Amazing Radio.

A previous 7” release from Coney Island Sound was supported by BBC6 Music, BBC Radio Ulster, XFM, Resonance FM and Amazing Radio.

“What’s music, but a way to glimpse what is greater than ourselves?” So asks Wendy Hearl in her song “What’s This Music For?”, and this question captures the introspective, thoughtful, yet outward-reaching spirit of her work. The veteran musician and prolific songwriter offers an eclectic smorgasbord of styles, including tender acoustic ballads, folk-rock, blues, power pop, funk, and hard rock.

Music has been a strong and persistent force in Wendy’s life. “Thanks to my Dad, I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, Queen, Kansas, Styx, and the like, so there’s a persistent love of hard rock mixed in with a bit of flash,” she says. “Later I got into the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, and other melodic and often introspective music. Round it off with a dash of 50’s rock and roll, 60’s psychedelia, 80’s hair bands, and 90’s grunge, and you’ve got a pretty good sense of where I’m coming from.” She continues, “I started out playing an old organ my grandmother gave me, and trying to plunk on my Dad’s electric guitar. It wasn’t until high school that I finally began learning how to play properly.” Through the years she has picked up some additional instruments, including bass, mandolin, harmonica, African drums, and the bowed psaltery.

In a sense, Wendy has followed two parallel musical paths. One path is live performances, and leads from her first high school band, Fantasy, through a colorful and varied succession of other bands, including Culture Shock, Unfrozen Cavemen, Chameleon Red, and Mother Zephyr, as well as the occasional gig as a solo artist. The other path is that of do-it-yourself recording artist, in which she has produced seven full-length albums as a one-woman-band, from Anti-Gravity (1990) to New Heart (2002), and with Chameleon Red, one double album, Transposition (2007), and one regular album, Skeleton Crew (2013).

Music is the only step that combines the abstract to the concrete.
Antonin Artaud (Source unknown)

I want to tell you something about me. I will not be long.
I'm always looking for the best way to express what's inside me.
I live a normal life
I never paid attention to appear better than I am.
Moody emotional and complex, are three adjectives that describe me best.
Mine is an ongoing investigation.
A desire, an emotion, a shock, a fight, a note, a song, a phrase ...

Music is the harmony of the soul.
Alessandro Baricco, Castles of anger, 1991

The progressive is the only label that I would bring.
I love to travel between all the nuances of sound from electronic to acoustic.

Genesis, Area, Van der Graaf Generator, but Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton, Kevin Moore, or Herbie Hancock or Louis Armstrong and even Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... some of my influences.

I always shared my music for free with anyone

I hope you have not lost too much time to read these few lines.

I do not think you are interested in my music studies, the band in which I played or festivals in which I participated.
La musica è il solo passaggio che unisca l'astratto al concreto.

ITALIANO

Antonin Artaud (Fonte sconosciuta)

Voglio parlarvi un pò di me. Non ci metterò molto.
Porto nel cuore le mie origini meridionali,sempre alla ricerca del modo migliore per esprimere quello che ho dentro.
Lavoro, ho una famiglia e una vita normale. 
Non ho mai badato ad apparire migliore di quello che sono. 
Lunatico emotivo e complesso,sono tre aggettivi che mi descrivono meglio. 
La mia è una ricerca continua .
Un desiderio, un'emozione, uno shock, uno scontro, una nota, una canzone, un fraseggio... 

La musica è l'armonia dell'anima. 
Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di rabbia, 1991

Il progressive è l'unica etichetta che mi sento di portare.
 Amo viaggiare tra tutte le sfumature del suono che sia elettronico o acustico. 

Genesis , Area, Van der Graaf Generator, ma anche Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton , Kevin Moore, oppure Herbie Hancock o Louis Armstrong e anche Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... alcune delle mie influenze.

Non ho mai rinunciato a condividere la mia musica con chiunque volesse condividerla. 

Spero di non averti fatto perdere troppo tempo nel leggere queste poche righe.

Non credo tu sia interessato ai miei studi musicali, alle band a cui ho suonato o ai festival a cui ho partecipato.

Qualora tu fossi interessato a ulteriori informazioni o a collaborare con il mio progetto, 
ecco tutti i miei contatti

La musica esprime ciò che non può essere detto e su cui è impossibile rimanere in silenzio.
Victor Hugo, Canti del crepuscolo, 1835


This is Notes for Jane a band thats mostly instrumental. We play music from the bottom of heart and pour our soul into our sounds. We work hard and try to let our fans relax and be moved by our music.
Bio: Notes for Jane or also known as NfJ all began from some love notes Aaron Johnson guitarist for NfJ wrote to a girl. The girls name was not Jane, but Jane was used as the cover up name. In the summer of 2009 The band was born but not as NfJ but as The Skeletons after 7months the band members split and went their own ways. Aaron went on solo with the name Silver and also a metal side band Heroes of a Different Age... also known as HDA, Aaron started to find new members and eventually a manager Cj Rusk. In the summer of 2011 Notes for Jane was born and was official on Youtube Although they only lasted for 3 months because all the members moved to different states. Along with dropping Notes for Jane Aaron dropped HDA... And went into the techno music life as Kill Shot. One day Aaron received messages from the ex Notes for Jane Manager and said he'd join Aaron and they could use NfJ as a solo name since it had gotten somewhat some Channel views on Youtube. With Notes for Jane incontrol of Aaron and Cj Rusk they would soon shock the fans with techno blended rock and eventually dubstep. In the Fall of 2011 Notes for Jane released their first ever album on soundcloud called Black & White with a guess appearance by Aarons friend Cj Francis. The Album was good but not nearly as good as Notes for Janes covers, the 5th NfJ album. The album was build off compilations of popular songs and blended with guitar parts by Aaron. The album received major popularity because of Notes for Janes well done mix of We are young by Fun. The song went on and got over 1,000 plays and 200 downloads. Notes almost called it quits after their 7th album but decided to hang in there. NfJ's 7th album Forgiveness was made up of very emotional acoustic type songs and became a hit. Forgiveness had the most commented and liked songs from any album NfJ had ever made. In the fall of 2012 Aaron and Cj went into Dubstep they dropped the name of Kill Shot and moved on to Code 9, shortly releasing a 14 song album hit called F-Bomb the album went big but didnt last long in popularity. With Aaron starting vocals NfJ went into making The Lonely Monsters a side project band. As of now Notes for Jane is still making Dubstep and making the Finishing touches to NfJ's 25th Album. Long live Notes for Jane.

Non, il ne s’agit pas d’une chaîne de motels douteux où on doit payer sa chambre à l’heure. Qualité Motel, c’est plutôt le nouveau projet parallèle 100% électronique des 5 membres de Misteur Valaire. La formule minimaliste troque le lourd équipement électro-acoustique du groupe pour les mettre à table devant une panoplie de simples machines à sons, à la manière d’un savoureux buffet international. Au menu : boîte à rythme et synthétiseurs des belles années se mélangent et vous rappellent que votre corps peut se mouvoir d’une manière insoupçonnée. 

Qualité Motel (QM pour les intimes) lancera son premier album, intitulé Motel Califorña, le 2 avril prochain. Pour ce premier opus, la bande réunit une liste d’invités tout aussi efficace que surprenante. On y retrouvera Stefie Shock, Mitsou, Grand Analog (Toronto), Socalled, Yann Perreau, Pintandwefall (Helsinki, Finlande), James Di Salvio, Mrs.Paintbrush (Pittsburgh, É-U), Karim Ouellet, Caracol, Elisapie Isaac, Béni bbq, Fanny Bloom, Amélie Glenn et Usetowork. Ces collaborateurs de renom élèvent les beats incendiaires de QM au rang de véritables «tubes». Même si ce projet dansant n’est qu’un passe-temps sans prétention pour ses membres, ces derniers livrent malgré tout un son puissant et une performance de fête, autant sur les grands dance floors que dans la plus petite chambre de motel plafond-de-stucco-tapis-poil-angora.

No, we’re not talking about some cheap motel chain where you can pay your room by the hour. Qualité Motel is the new 100% electronic based side project from the band members of Misteur Valaire. This minimalistic formula swaps the heavy electro-acoustic gear to bring to the table five guys loaded with a basic sound system, just like a delicious international buffet. On the menu: drum machine and synthesizers from the good old days blend themselves to remind you that your body can move in unsuspected ways.

Qualité Motel (QM for friends) will release their first album, entitled Motel Califorña, on April 2nd. For this debut album, the band managed to assemble an impressive and surprising guest list. It includes the likes of Stefie Shock, Mitsou, Grand Analog (Toronto), Socalled, Yann Perreau, Pintandwefall (Helsinki, Finland), James Di Salvio, Mrs.Paintbrush (Pittsburgh, USA), Karim Ouellet, Caracol, Elisapie Isaac, Amélie Glenn, Usetowork, Béni bbq and Fanny Bloom. These well-known performers are helping turn these incendiary beats into worldwide hits. Although this dancing project is only a hobby for its members, they still deliver a powerful sound and a festive performance, whether it’s on some of the biggest dance floors or in the smallest stucco-ceiling-hairy-angora-carpet motel room.
