Jazz Great Herbie Hancock a UN Culture Ambassador - ABC News: "Jazz great Herbie Hancock wants his music to build bridges between cultures, a mission that fits perfectly with his new role as a U.N. cultural ambassador promoting peace through culture and education.
The 71-year-old — imbued with boundless energy, curiosity and cool-cat poise — is a natural for the job. His 'The Imagine Project' album is a multicultural potpourri featuring collaborations with musicians from 11 countries and seven languages. He founded The International Committee of Artists for Peace, too.
'It feels like an answer to some of my biggest dreams,' the pianist and composer told The Associated Press about his Friday appointment as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
UNESCO 'really cares about working toward the globalized peaceful world that people actually want to live in.'"
