No jazz pianist was more drenched in minor blues than Sonny Clark. Yet he blended his blues with a buoyant, ventilated swing. And to this day, nobody sounds like Sonny Clark.

On the third and final day of recording Miles Davis’ transitional album Miles in the Sky, Herbie Hancock walked into Columbia Studio B on East 52nd Street in New York to find his instrument missing. A piano prodigy since age 11, Hancock scanned the room — no keyboards. Confused, he turned to Davis, his mentor and band leader. “What do you want me to play?” Davis nodded at a squat, almost frail-looking set of keys that were a far cry from the commanding presence of a Steinway — instead, they belonged to a Fender Rhodes electric piano. Hancock thought, “You want me to play that toy?”

In this show, I realized I didn’t have to speak with my mouth, I had to speak with my face. Instead of actually saying I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m confused, I had to do it with my face, and that was challenging. But I really enjoy playing a challenging role. I love playing Eleven.
