Hancock, Herbie -rockit Band-
Live At Yumiuri Land Open East Theatre 1984 (2lp)
In 1983 Herbie Hancock's glorious career in jazz (and fusion) experienced a resounding mainstream breakthrough thanks to
the extraordinary success of the transcendent 'Rockit,' a single taken from the Grammy award-winning album 'Future
Shock' that has gone down in history as the first crossover between jazz, hip hop and scratching (breakdancers elected
it in those years as their world anthem). The piece, in a nearly 11-minute version, is included in the radio-originated
live performance culled from a concert that the legendary keyboardist and his band - including Anton Fier, Bernard
Fowler, D.ST., J.T. Lewis, Jeff Bova and Wayne Brathwaite - held on July 24, 1984 at the Yomiuriland Open East Theatre
in Tokyo: synthesizers and electronics characterize a set that includes versions of other pieces from the 'Future Shock'
album (the title track, 'Earth Beat,' 'Autodrive,' 'Rough'), 'Stars In Your Eyes' from 'Monster' (1980) and the final 17
minutes medley of 'Crazy Cuts/Chameleon.'
