Grammy award winning artist Herbie Hancock's twenty-ninth album. "Monster", Hancock's pop-jazz hybrid, was originally released in 1980.

"An Evening With Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock" was the first of two popular live albums recorded by Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, the second Corea/Hancock released a year after the first in 1979. The record features the two performing on acoustic pianos at three different venues across California and one in Michigan. "An Evening With Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock" features cover works as well as pieces written by the duo and individual works by each artist.

"An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert" is a live album featuring Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea playing only acoustic piano. Recorded over several live performances in February 1978, the album is an interesting departure from the jazz fusion which both keyboardists specialize in playing.

"Speak Like A Child" is Herbie Hancock’s 1968 masterpiece. It features a star-studded lineup, which includes Ron Carter, Mickey Roker, Jerry Dodgion, Thad Jones and Peter Phillips. It reached the Top Twenty on Billboard’s Top Jazz Albums and includes the hits, “The Sorcerer” and the title-track. This thought-provoking listen features Hancock’s signature lyrical playing and melodic brilliance.

"My Point of View" is Herbie Hancock's sophomore album, originally released in 1963 on Blue Note Records. The album followed his successful debut album "Takin' Off" and helped solidify his position in the jazz world. Hancock wrote the piece "Blind Man, Blind Man" after an experience where he encountered a blind man playing his guitar on the corner of his Chicago neighborhood.

"Empyrean Isles" is Herbie Hancock's fourth album. It debuted two of his most popular compositions, "One Finger Snap" and "Cantaloupe Island". Hancock pushes the boundaries of hard bop on this album, playing with elements of soul, post-modal jazz, traditional bop, and experimental jazz.

Herbie Hancock's "The Prisoner" was one of his first records after leaving the Miles Davis quintet in 1968. The album was done in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, a musical social statement focused around civil rights while exploring the vastness of the new jazz form known as post-bop. The recording features Garnett Brown on trombone, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone and alto flute, Johnny Coles on flugelhorn, Buster Williams on bass, and Albert Heath on drums. Although post-bop wasn't as conventional as jazz or bop, Hancock's challenging compositions invite listeners into his world of simple melodies and emotionally austere music.

Jack Johnson, later reissued as A Tribute to Jack Johnson, is a 1971 studio album and soundtrack by American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. In 1970, Davis was asked by boxing promoter Bill Cayton to record music for a documentary he was producing, on the life of boxer Jack Johnson. Johnson's saga resonated personally with the musician, who wrote in the album's liner notes of Johnson's mastery as a boxer, his affinity for fast cars, jazz, clothes, and beautiful women, his unreconstructed blackness, and his threatening image to white men. This was the second film score Davis had composed, after Ascenseur pour l'échafaud in 1957.

Future Shock is pianist Herbie Hancock's thirty-fifth album and a million-selling Platinum-certified disc. It was Hancock's first release from his electro-funk era and an early example of instrumental hip hop. Much of the album was initially composed by the team of avant-garde bassist and record producer Bill Laswell, and keyboardist and producer Michael Beinhorn, and played on tour by their group Material in 1982.

My Funny Valentine: Miles Davis in Concert is a 1965 live album by Miles Davis. It was recorded at a concert at the Philharmonic Hall of Lincoln Center, New York City, NY, on February 12, 1964. Miles also recorded a studio version of the title song, muted, with piano trio backing in 1956. Two albums were assembled from the concert recording. The up-tempo pieces were issued as Four & More, while My Funny Valentine consists of the slow and medium-tempo numbers.

Miles Smiles is an album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in January 1967 on Columbia Records. It was recorded by Davis and his second quintet at Columbia 30th Street Studio in New York City on October 24 and October 25, 1966. It is the second of six albums recorded by Davis's second great quintet, which featured saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams.

"First Light" is the nineteenth album by jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. Recorded in 1971, it features string arrangements by Don Sebesky. It was his third album released on Creed Taylor's CTI label and features performances by Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Eric Gale, George Benson, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Airto Moreira and Richard Wyands. The album is part of a loose trilogy including his two previous records at the time, Red Clay and Straight Life. First Light won a 1972 Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Performance by a Group".

"Crossings" is jazz pianist Herbie Hancock's tenth studio album originally released in 1972. The record was the second during Hancock's Mwandishi period, which featured a string of albums that focused on experimental electronics. "Crossings" was the first album to feature the newest member to Hancock's group, synthesizer player Patrick Gleeson.

The follow-up to the breakthrough "Headhunters" album was virtually as good as its wildly successful predecessor: an earthy, funky, yet often harmonically and rhythmically sophisticated tour de force.

Directstep is the twenty-fourth studio album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. Originally, the record was released only in Japan on December 2, 1978, via CBS/Sony label.
