Now's the Time: Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock performed at the Lied Center in Lawrence in 2011, but the icon will make his first appearance within the city limits of Kansas City in more than ten years at Muriel Kauffman Theatre on Saturday, August 12.  Hancock is joined by Billy Hart, Eddie Henderson, Bennie Maupin, Julian Priester and Buster Williams in the embedded footage from 1972.  Four modern-day heavyweights- Vinnie Colaiuta, James Genus, Lionel Loueke, and Terrace Martin- will perform with Hancock on Saturday.
