Chick Corea: The Musician

Read "The Musician" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Nel 2011 Chick Corea ha festeggiato il suo settantesimo compleanno con una serie di concerti al Blue Note di New York, andati avanti per due mesi, con nuove e storiche formazioni della sua carriera. Un totale di dieci band--con la presenza, tra gli altri, di Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Bobby McFerrin, John Patitucci, Gary Burton, Wynton Marsalis, Gary Peacock e molti altri-che ora vedono la luce in un triplo cofanetto con quattro ore di musica. Dal 5 maggio è disponibile ...

Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two

Read "Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two" reviewed by Doug Collette


The collaboration of pianist/composer Chick Corea and banjoist/composer Bela Fleck is a magnificent meeting of the minds, one as unlikely as jazz of any era is likely to see and hear. The ever-so-serious and often precious approach of the former is largely contrasted by the playful, though occasionally cute-to-a-fault latter, but the complementary nature of their playing together renders those blemishes of attitude moot precisely because, based largely in the spontaneity of the moments as captured on this set, the ...

Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock in Chicago and Carmel

Read "Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock in Chicago and Carmel" reviewed by Chuck Schultz


Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock Symphony Center, Chicago IL The Palladium, Carmel, IN April 17-18, 2015 Chicago and Indianapolis hosted the final leg of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea's North American tour. Really, it was a tour nobody wanted to see come to an end. Each show was unique and individual, with a surprise appearance in Indianapolis. “You probably thought we had a set list planned," Hancock chuckled as he greeted the crowds. ...

Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock at Zellerbach Hall

Read "Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock at Zellerbach Hall" reviewed by Harry S. Pariser


Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock Duet Zellerbach Hall Berkeley, CA March 19, 2015 The two pianists needed no introduction. Taking the stage at Cal Performances, they turned to each other, old friends reuniting, and bantered about their various past visits to Berkeley, California. This was the fourth date in a tour which would culminate with four European engagements, but it was by no means their first onstage duet. The two first toured together as a ...

Chick Corea: Trilogy

Read "Trilogy" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Magnifico triplo CD registrato nel corso di alcune tournée in giro per il mondo, Trilogy documenta un Chick Corea in stato di grazia. Immergiamoci allora in questa limpida cascata di note, circonfusa da una lussureggiante vegetazione di gustose parafrasi. Non è ovviamente questa la sede per ripercorrere le caratteristiche di un pianismo ormai storicizzato. Varrà però la pena di sottolineare l'intatta abilità a scomporre gli standard interpretati, mimetizzando il nucleo melodico di base. Sin dagli iniziali “You're ...

Chick Corea Trio: Trilogy

Read "Chick Corea Trio: Trilogy" reviewed by John Kelman


Remember when CDs were so expensive to make that record companies would release double albums and remove a track or two, just so that it could fit on a single CD? Well, there may be many negatives about the state of the music industry today---despite this being a time when so much music is being made that, like the glory days in the 1960s/70s, it seems like anything is possible...there's just no more industry support to help any of it ...

Parco della Musica Roma 10.05.2014 In occasione della recentissima pubblicazione del suo nuovo CD di solo piano, Portraits, il pianista Chick Corea ha intrapreso un tour mondiale che lo ha portato anche dalle nostre parti. Il suo concerto solistico è strutturato analogamente al CD, registrato dal vivo, con una prima parte che è una storia del piano jazz attraverso l'interpretazione di composizioni di alcuni tra i più importanti esponenti dello strumento, non soltanto in ...
