In 1983
Herbie Hancock
's glorious career in jazz (and fusion) experienced a resounding mainstream breakthrough thanks to the extraordinary success of the transcendent "Rockit," a single taken from the Grammy award-winning album
Future Shock
(1983) that has gone down in history as the first crossover between jazz, hip-hop, and scratching (breakdancers elected it in those years as their world anthem). The piece, in a nearly 11-minute version, is included in the radio-originated live performance culled from a concert that the legendary keyboardist and his band -- including
Anton Fier
,
Bernard Fowler
,
D.ST.
,
J.T. Lewis
,
Jeff Bova
, and
Wayne Brathwaite
-- held on July 24, 1984 at the Yomiuriland Open East Theatre in Tokyo: synthesizers and electronics characterize a set that includes versions of other pieces from the
Future Shock
album (the title track, "Earth Beat," "Autodrive," "Rough"), "Stars In Your Eyes" from
Monster
(1980) and the final 17 minutes medley of "Crazy Cuts/Chameleon".
