Fresh off 'Head Hunters' anniversary show, Herbie Hancock heads to St. Pete this fall

In the ‘60s, Herbie Hancock made a name for himself as a leader in jazz piano. By 1974, months after dropping his landmark Head Hunters album, the now-84-year-old was a bonafide legend.

Last month, the 15-time Grammy winner reunited with surviving members of the Head Hunters band for a one-off L.A. gig to celebrate what’s arguably still the most significant instrumental jazz album of all time.

We still don’t know who’ll be in the lineup as Hancock kicks off a fall tour in Florida, but the show is certainly one of the last chances to see a true giant of jazz up-close-and-personal.

Tickets to see Herbie Hancock play Duke Energy Center at Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg on Sunday, Sept. 15 are still available and start at $53.
