Music (Cantaloupe Island)

I first discovered jazz when I was in my high school's choir. I loved its ease, its sense of pure emotion, and how absolutely fun it is. No wonder that I fell in love with pianist Herbie Hancock and one of his signature songs, "Cantaloupe Island."

The piano seems so at ease, controlled yet unpredictable. There are moments that the trumpet seems to be laughing, because this piece is so fun and it's hard to contain it.

Hancock is known for his experimental style and pushing jazz into new directions, but I mostly just love his classical jazz style, which is super cool and smooth.
