With the possible exception of John Coltrane, Hancock could be the most controversial figure in the history of Jazz music. His albums crossed every aspect of Jazz and crisscrossed from one style to another without any discernable pattern. Influenced by electronic components, Hancock was the first to use synthesizers and computers creating a unique hybrid of Jazz, Electronica, and Funk. Considering that he recently received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year and has a huge body of work that keeps growing, his chances for induction should keep improving with each passing year. It is a strong possibility that the next Jazz musician inducted to Cleveland be Herbie Hancock…..should there ever be another.
