Hancock shares life lessons in new memoir

FILE - In this Oct. 24, 2014 file photo, jazz musician and lifetime achievement award honoree Herbie Hancock speaks at the 13th annual "A Great Night in Harlem" gala concert at The Apollo Theater in New York. Hancock has published a memoir called, "Possibilities." In the book, written with Lisa Dickey, he describes his constantly evolving career: as a child prodigy playing classical musical, a sideman in Davis' legendary mid-1960s quintet, and as a bandleader who went from far-out jazz-fusion with his Mwandishi band, to funk with the Headhunters, to hip-hop on the album “Future Shock” and beyond. (Photo by Mark Von Holden/Invision/AP, File) NEW YORK (AP) — Herbie Hancock doesn't begin or end his newly published memoir "Possibilities" by recalling any of the many highlights in his 50-plus-year career such as receiving the 2008 Album of the Year Grammy Award for "River: The Joni Letters."
