By SANDY COHEN – 41 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Herbie Hancock shocked Kanye West, best-album presenters Usher and Quincy Jones, and just about anyone who was watching the Grammys when the jazz veteran won the night's big prize for "River: The Joni Letters."
But perhaps no one was more shocked than Herbie Hancock.
"It's immeasurable how surprised I am," Hancock said Sunday night after the show.
"I didn't even hear my name at first," he continued. "Then I heard the word 'River' and I said, 'Is this true? Is this happening?'"
