Herbie Hancock

For a person whose life has been an incredible series of major moments, of history-making, of working with legends, Herbie Hancock, himself now a legend, easily rattles off the things that stand out in his mind as special, proud times. "Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me. That felt the biggest. I've won my fair share of Grammy Awards but, as an institution, the Grammies didn't start until I was about 18 years old. The Oscars, on the other hand, were always there. I grew up always thinking the Academy Awards was the most incredible thing, the epitome of Hollywood, That reached way down to my childhood. Other highlights? When I started practicing Buddhism 21 years ago. Marrying the woman I married 26 years ago; my wife is quite a woman. The birth of my daughter. Joining Miles Davis' band. Winning all those MTV awards and the Grammy for 'Rockit.'"
