Connections

Herbie Hancock has dipped his hands into many musical endeavors. Straight-ahead jazz, 'real' fusion, the dawn of the video age, chill-out electronica. He's done it all. He's also a Nichiren Buddhist. Beliefnet has a great interview with him and how he practices Buddhism and how it infuses his music. He says that at the center of everything he plays and does, he is a human being, even with the other hats he wears. At the core, he knows who he is. And what he has to contribute.
