Last Wednesday, a friend of mine had an extra ticket to see Herbie Hancock at the Boch Center Wang Theatre. I know what you\u2019re thinking: Isn\u2019t Herbie that<\/em> 11-year-old who performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1952?<\/em> Didn\u2019t know that charming little anecdote? Well, he\u2019s aged a few years since then \u2014 85, and still rockin\u2019 \u2014 but he\u2019s just as extraordinary, if not a little more of a seasoned pianist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band\u2019s particular introduction to the Boston crowd immediately showcased their mastery. It consisted of a twenty-minute improvisation inspired by \u201cPrehistoric Predator\u201d \u2014 a preset on Herbie\u2019s Korg keyboard. Maybe it was their sheer musical expertise that brought \u201cJurassic World\u201d to mind \u2014 that, and maybe the name of the preset \u2014  but for the rest of the show, I began to see them as sort of \u201cjazz dinosaurs.\u201d And it wasn\u2019t in the sense that they were old or obsolete. Rather, they truly are breathtaking, legendary innovators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s get to it. On keys, of course, was the great Herbie Hancock, or as some might consider, the Indoraptor. If you\u2019re not a Jurassic geek, fret not! The Indoraptor is a highly intelligent, adaptable, genetic hybrid, which I would say represents the tireless innovation of a certain musical \u201cchameleon.\u201d As one of the first jazz musicians to push the boundaries of musical technology, heavily incorporating synthesizers, Herbie has embraced musical exploration with varying musical colors, effortlessly blending jazz with R&B, electro and funk, and never losing a sense of adventure \u2014 or humor for that matter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all a little bit crazy,\u201d he said, presenting James Genus to the crowd. During the show, the electric bassist took on the towering presence of the Brachiosaurus. Like the dinosaur\u2019s majestic and peaceful symbol in \u201cJurassic World,\u201d Genus is an incredibly humble, formidable backbone to the group. When he\u2019s not playing with Herbie on the 2025 North American Fall Tour, you\u2019re likely to spot him in the Saturday Night Live Band. As first-call sideman for many jazz legends, including Dianne Reeves and the late Horace Silver, it\u2019s no surprise he proved an invaluable rhythmic presence for the ensemble Wednesday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is trumpeter, Terrance Blanchard, who \u201cmust be an octopus\u201d according to Herbie. From the rim of his little brass bell, what feels like an entire horn section radiates through the auditorium. Correct me if I\u2019m wrong, but I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to place those horns atop the great Triceratops. His powerful and distinctive sound commands attention wherever he leads. In his four-and-a-half-decade-long career, he is the first Black composer to have an opera performed at the Metropolitan Opera in the institution\u2019s 138-year history: two in fact, including \u201cFire Shut Up in My Bones\u201d in 2021 and \u201cChampion: An Opera in Jazz\u201d in 2023. He also arranged their performance that night of Herbie\u2019s 1966 \u201cFootprints.\u201d Blanchard is a force of nature in his field:  He\u2019s written more than 80 film and tv scores, and he\u2019s a two-time Academy Award nominee and seven-time Grammy winner. \u201cI have a gift,\u201d said Herbie. \u201cI can snatch people up \u2014 Fshoop!\u201d He chuckled. \u201c. . . Wave a few dollars in the air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it should come as no surprise that he also snatched up a 27-year-old T-Rex: drummer Jaylen Petinaud. <\/strong>Petinaud is a master of technique and styles, collaborating with musicians ranging from small jazz clubs to 20-piece orchestras to grand broadway shows. The dynamic and thunderous strides of his beats place him in a leading role in the music\u2019s ecosystem. Herbie marveled at Petinaud\u2019s age: \u201cYou know that phrase, \u2018Jazz is dead\u2019?\u201d My sister\u2019s boyfriend would\u2019ve joked, oh my god yes, Ryan Gosling saved Jazz!<\/em> Instead, Herbie praised Petinaud as one of many \u201cyoung musicians [who] continue to arrive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 years Petinaud\u2019s senior is our last member, Lionel Louke. His journey toward becoming a well-renowned guitarist and vocalist started relatively late in the game. While he initially learned percussion, he was heavily inspired by his brother and \u2014 more importantly \u2014 his brother\u2019s guitar. But, like many siblings possessive of their personal items, Herbie\u2019s brother never allowed him to touch it until the age of 17. Thankfully he finally did because his intricate fingerstyle is one of a kind. In the concert he navigated complex polyrhythms, seamlessly linking contrasting tempos that otherwise could be deemed unimaginable to jigsaw together. So, drumroll please for the intelligent and agile Velociraptor of the group! His technical mastery complements the lean, instantaneous movements of this predator mid-chase, captivating the audience through his percussive, Afro-pop-influenced vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to reiterate, I wouldn\u2019t call Herbie or any member of his jazzylicious crew \u201cprehistoric.\u201d In fact, I am but one witness to their continuous discovery and rediscovery. And, man, did these \u201cprehistoric predators\u201d roar! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their rendition of \u201cActual Proof,\u201d a song off Herbie\u2019s 1974 album \u201cThrust,\u201d their execution became a structured hunt: Each player adopted a distinct predatory approach during their solos. Herbie, the alpha of the pack, chased the keyboard with calculated precision; Genus scavenged the lower frequencies with gleeful abandon; Blanchard ambushed the audience with sharp, sudden strikes; Petinaud coordinated with the group in a display of cooperative hunting; and Loueke camouflaged his complex melodies, stalking his prey with stealth. Following an enthusiastic 40-second applause and standing ovation, Herbie bit through a chuckle. He then leaned toward the microphone, his expression playful, exclaiming \u201cOuuuch!\u201d and making a show of being musically wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the night was a vibrant celebration of \u201870s jazz-funk fusion. In a striking contrast to the set\u2019s more explosive moments, \u201cButterfly\u201d showcased refined artistry and subtlety with an elegant and hypnotic arrangement. Before unleashing a hard funk groove with the unrecorded hit \u201cSecret Sauce,\u201d Herbie switched on a vocoder, warning us in a robotic voice of a little cautionary tale you might recall: \u201cThe Terminator.\u201d This served as a call to reflect on the world before sweetly reminding us that \u201cwe need each other.\u201d Following those words the band launched into a dazzling display of jibing, fluid rhythm and harmonic depth. Afterward, Herbie whipped out a keytar for \u201cHang Up Your Hang Ups \/ Rockit \/ Spider\u201d \u2014 an intense medley of alien-like sounds, much befitting a Halloween monster bash of Jurassic proportions\u2014sustaining a series of jumping jacks with Loueke as they played on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert concluded with Herbie, an undeniable master behind the keys, performing the iconic \u201cChameleon.\u201d In a final, heartwarming act of camaraderie, the five musicians, having celebrated each other all night, embraced for their final bow. Ladies and gentlemen: the honorary dinosaurs of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
