Spiraling Prism - A Tribute to
Herbie Hancock

Jon Opstad - analogue synthesizers
Tom O’Grady - fender rhodes
Byron Miller - electric bass
Mark Mondesir - drums

In celebration of Herbie Hancock’s 80th birthday in 2020, Jon created this video celebrating Herbie Hancock’s genius for analogue synthesizer orchestration. This is a faithful recreation of Hancock’s classic composition “Spiraling Prism” from the Mr. Hands album, meticulously recreated using the exact models of vintage electronic instruments from Hancock’s 1978 setup shown in the iconic photograph on the back cover of the Sunlight album, and featuring the track’s original bass player from the 1977 Herbie Hancock session, the legendary Byron Miller.
