Fans of Herbie Hancock will immediately recognize his classic hit “Chameleon”. In a sense, the jazz legend himself is somewhat of a musical chameleon, whose compositions and recordings change direction as easily as the lizard’s skin changes color.
But, with Hancock, the transformations are the result of an unwillingness to stay the same and a mind that harbors a love of all music, rather than confining that affection to one particular style.
Such is the experience that awaits concertgoers Wednesday evening, August 25, when the jazz legend makes his lone Colorado stop of a nationwide tour at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek for an 8 p.m. celebration of his new release, “The Imagine Project".
"The Imagine Project" album features a wealth of guest performers, including Dave Matthews, Seal, Pink, Jeff Beck, the Chieftains, Toumani Diabete, Wayne Shorter, Chaka Khan and others, as well as recording sessions in several countries such as the U.S., India, England, France, Ireland and Brazil."It's a record that's basically about peace," Hancock added, crediting his attorney with inspiring the concept. "To me, the path towards peace is through global collaboration, so the heart of this record is the idea of making a global record or an international record, in multiple languages and in a variety of places."
Tickets for Herbie Hancock and “The Imagine Project” are priced at $98 and $128 and are available HERE, by phone at (970) 845-TIXS (8497) or 888.920.ARTS(2787) and in person at the Vilar Center box office in Beaver Creek.
