StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: Herbie Hancock's Harvard lectures

Each year since 1925, Harvard University selects a well-known artist to deliver what are called the Norton lectures, named for Charles Eliot Norton, a celebrated professor, university president, and editor of the Harvard Classics. During their tenure, each selected artist delivers six public talks on topics of their choosing, and in 2014, the lecturer was none other that Herbie Hancock, the celebrated pianist, composer, and bandleader.

Hancock's lectures were documented on video, and now you can see all of them right here. The titles of the six talks, in order, are "The Wisdom Of Miles Davis," "Breaking The Rules," "Cultural Diplomacy And The Voice of Freedom," "Innovation And New Technologies," "Buddhism And Creativity" and "Once Upon A Time." All together, the lectures offer a rare opportunity to "go deep" with one of the most forward-thinking and influential musicians of our time.
