Herbie was the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven't heard anybody yet who has come after him.

Why see Los Angeles Philharmonic - Herbie Hancock?
The jazz legend joins the LA Phil!
The LA Philharmonic welcomes legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, considered to be one of the most innovative jazz musicians of all time. The early days of his journey as an artist saw him redefine the term 'rhythm section' in the Miles Davis Quintet, widely regarded as one of the finest jazz ensembles to ever grace the stage and thereafter his mounting collaborations and solo works tracked the evolution of a breathtakingly original and pioneering style.
Herbie has spent his prolific career experimenting with various jazz forms, culminating in a bluesy, enigmatic and psychedelically-charged creative vision. Concert-goers can rest assured that Hancock still revisits masterpieces like Maiden Voyage and Cantaloupe Island with an inspiringly fresh feel. No two concerts, no two pieces are ever alike when it comes to this virtuoso!
