Herbie Hancock

Day 95
#8 – Herbert Jeffrey ‘Herbie’ Hancock (b.1940). American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader and composer. Recordings include: Watermelon Man (1962) and the albums Future Shock (1983) and Round Midnight (1986). 

His music has a strong rhythm and a repetition of strong harmonies. The two ‘H’s are so distinctive it made sense to use those and after looking at various arrangements, I settled on a pattern to reflect the rhythm and harmony.
