About this topic
The studio albums of Herbie Hancock, the pianist who went from Blue Note hard bop to Head Hunters to scratching on MTV without ever quite leaving jazz behind. Studio albums only, curated across every era rather than weighted toward one — the Blue Note years, the Mwandishi records, the funk, the electro run, and the later work all appear. Excluded: his live albums, his film scores (including the one that won him an Academy Award), compilations, and the many fine records where he shares top billing with the players alongside him rather than leading under his own name. Because the catalogue runs past forty titles, this set is the canonical selection rather than the exhaustive discography. Name the albums, answer real trivia about the music and the career, match each cover to its title, sort them into release order, or pick his studio albums out of a grid of decoys. Sourced from Wikipedia's Herbie Hancock discography and cross-checked against Wikidata.
