    • “Watermelon Man” Let’s end where we started, approximately. Though written more than ten years earlier, Hancock re-recorded “Watermelon Man” for 1973’s Head Hunters at the suggestion of drummer Harvey Mason.
    • “Maiden Voyage” Also off 1965’s Maiden Voyage, this tune is uniquely Herbie’s—one built on a frequently-used interval of his, the perfect fourth. This interval accounts for the open, sound of the piano and angularity of his melodic lines.
    • “Joanna’s Theme” “Joanna’s Theme” off Hancock and saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s 1997 duo album 1+1 is an evolving, impressionistic journey that really reflects Herbie’s beginnings as a classical pianist and his sweeping virtuosity on the instrument.
    • “The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms)” Feat. Joni Mitchell. In 2007, Hancock released River: The Joni Letters in tribute to Joni Mitchell’s songbook.
