I am really excited about this too. Herbie hancock's influence even seaped into indie-rock when The Sea & Cake did a remix album of their own material. It starts out with a long sample from Herbie Hancock talking about his obsession with electronics/gagetry, and how that is a throwback to his days of wanting to be an engineer. It's very clear that they've integrated electronics into their sound in the same spirit. Two of the members of The Sea and Cake are also in Tortoise, and they've been remixed by a bunch of people. The Sea and Cake have been synthesizing elements of indie rock, jazz and electronic music to brilliant effect for quite some time now, especially when John McEntire gets to go really nuts with the drums and drum machines at once (see the "The Argument" on "The Fawn"). *That* is nice. Oops - that was a bit of a tangent, but I guess the point of it all is that it would be great to see Herbie Hancock and/or Carl Craig team up with some of the indie-rock avant-garde like Tortoise/The Sea & Cake, or Stereolab and see what comes out. Stereolab has made house on their own, and included a Luke Vibert remix on Aluminum Tunes. Some interest seems to be there. I think what really interests me is to see how great live music can be influenced by electronics, moreso than the other way around, since we're already seeing the effects of that.
