Orlando, FL -- Whether you love the genre of Jazz already or are curious, guests will be able to discover the best examples of modern musicianship with the Jazz Series at Dr. Phillips Center, supported by Massey Services Inc.
Guests will immerse themselves in the world of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and others with the stylings of today’s most celebrated Jazz musicians.
This special series of performances is a must-see in every measure. Taking the Walt Disney Theater stage on September 14, 2024, Herbie Hancock holds a career spanning nearly five decades in the genre of Jazz with 14 Grammy Awards.
Herbie Hancock remains a towering figure in modern music, from his early days as a piano prodigy in Chicago to pioneering Jazz with Head Hunters. Today, as Creative Chair for Jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Institute Chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, he continues to shape the future of music. His accolades, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and his roles as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and Kennedy Center honoree, highlight his enduring impact on global culture and education.
