Grammy and Oscar winner Herbie Hancock was honored by The Friends of Jazz at UCLA at the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center sponsored by KJAZZ and the Ralph Ehrenpreis Performance Fund. 


Tribute performances by special guests include Grammy-nominated vocalist Freda Payne, pianists Paul Cornish, Stuart Elster, and Elder Gindroz, bassist Michael Saucier, drummer Peter Buck, UCLA Global Jazz Vocal students Arya Hora and Lauren Brewster. Anthony “Tony” White was the MC.

April was Jazz Appreciation Month and Barbara Morrison was on the beat with hosting “A Song for Herbie” in celebrating the 10 year anniversary of International Jazz Day with original compositions honoring Herbie Hancock, pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer, actor, and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles’s UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

All the proceeds from this event benefited the Barbara Morrison Jazz Scholarship Fund at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
