In addition to his jazz standards like "Chameleon" and "Cantaloupe Island," Hancock is known for his 80s pop crossover hit "Rock It."  "Rock It" won the 1983 Grammy for Best R&B Instrumental Performance, was the first jazz hip-hop song and became an anthem for breakdancers at the time.

Since 2012 Hancock has been a professor at UCLA and is chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz. Tickets for the show are on sale now at the Hennepin Arts Box Office and hennepinarts.org.
