Hey Peter.

Hey, Adam.

Do you know today is a special day? I absolutely do know that today is a special day. What's so special about it? Um, Herbie Hancock's birthday. Herbie Hancock's birthday. Uh, uh, um, chica, um, chica, co-to-de-cha-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cach-tach-tach. I mean, don't ruin it, bud. I'm Adam Manus.

It's a very special day. Very, very special day. Herbie Hancock's birthday. He's 81 years old. We want to send out much love, much

appreciation. We hope that you're having an amazing day and surrounded by loved ones like I'm

sure you are. And just a lot of appreciation and love. Man, it is a special day. I mean,

you know, as we as we kind of alluded to in our thumbnail here, thumbnail here, it's always Herbie Day around here at Open Studio.

That's right.

It's never not Herbie Hancock Day.

We're always appreciative.

But this is really fun because we thought we would share eight great moments from Herbie.

And these are really eight of our favorite moments.

Now, this has morphed into something else because we couldn't really come to an agreement on the eight favorite. So we really have 16. We have eight categories. That's right. And each one of us is going to take a swing at it with our favorite moments. Well, it was funny too, because when you first brought this up, I was even thinking eight great Herbie Hancock moments, I was like, is that going to be enough to fill up this episode today? Because I was thinking like we took a solo. And then the eight great moments, that might be just

the first eight phrases he plays. We're one chorus in. Bam, there's your eight great moments.

He's always right there giving us great moments. So let me just go over what the categories are

going to be, right, before we get to it. What was the great game show? Categories are... Categories are, one, solos. Solos. Two, comping. Comping. Three intros. Three intros. Four grooves. Mm, grooves. Five road solos, which were distinguishing from piano solos.. Not now, not on the road, but on the roads.

On the Fender Roads, yes.

Obviously, he has so many iconic Fender Roads solos.

Yes, there's plenty of that choose from there.

So the other solo is piano solo, I would assume.

Yeah, or just, yeah.
