09 HERBIE HANCOCK, CHICK COREA, GEORGE DUKE AND FRIENDS!
The Minimoog inspired many keyboard players, but the inspiration of the instrument extended throughout the jazz and funk community. There are so many that we don’t have space to name them all, but three of the finest virtuosi from this era include Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and George Duke. Their extraordinary playing of the instrument ranged from funky basses to the most lyrical of improvised leads, against a musical backdrop which takes in so many other legends, including Stevie Wonder. Not a bad roll-call for a 50-year-old monosynth!
