Herbie Hancock at the 2019 Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival

 Herbie Hancock continues his European tour begun in October and will be performing live in concert at the Opéra Garnier as part of the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival.

The jazz great's career began in classical music. In 1951, with the Chicago Symphonic Orchestra at the tender age of 11, he played the first movement of a Mozart concerto. It was not until the 1970s that he turned to jazz, releasing an album with the newly formed band Headhunters in 1973. 

Accompanied by Lionel Loueke on guitar, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, James Genus on bass and Terrace Martin on saxophone, Herbie Hancock will light up the stage of the Opéra Garnier at 8.30 pm.

The opening act will feature Eli Degibri Quartet, a quartet led by saxophonist and composer Eli Degibri.
