Herbie Hancock [on the "tremendous sacrifices" other people allegedly need to make] - Telegraph

In order for us to be able to solve or slow down the process of climate change, we have to change our habits. We’re gonna have to make tremendous sacrifices. That’s kind of the hidden message in this record.

Herbie Hancock [on his passion for flying privately]

[Q] Do you often travel on business jets?

As often as I can. I’ve been flying privately since the 1980s and I love it.

[Q] Do you have a favorite business jet?

Yeah, the Gulfstream G550. It’s my preferred airplane when I’m flying in the U.S. because of its spaciousness, comfort level, seat design, speed, reliability and safety. Of course there are some other great companies. I’ve been on some Falcons and Embraers. Those are nice planes.

[Q] Will you fly privately on the upcoming European leg of your tour?

Yes, on an ATR 42-300 [twin turboprop] chartered from Hangar8 in the UK. It will carry me, my five-piece band, my tour and production managers, techs and all our gear. There’s often a show in a different city every night, so this was definitely the way to go. We usually leave first thing in the morning for the next stop to allow time to unload, get gear to the venue, check into the hotel, freshen up and make it to soundcheck by late afternoon.
