With twenty-three Grammy wins, Chick Corea is a legendary jazz
figure and one of the most prolific and influential contemporary
pianists of our time. He has produced hundreds of releases in
multiple genres over five decades, and he is one of the
hardest-working musicians in the industry, with a yearly tour
schedule of over 250 international concerts. He has authored
multiple books and instructional works, and many regard him today
as easily one of the most influential musicians of his generation.
Experiencing Chick Corea looks at the full span of Corea's career,
decade by decade, touching on the vast array of musical styles he
engaged, from his initial work with Herbie Mann to his free
explorations with Circle. It touches on his arguably most
influential album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, his involvement with
Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and subsequent efforts as pioneer in the
fusion scene with Return to Forever, his duo collaborations,
classical outings, and his acoustic and trio work in the 1990s and
beyond. Learning how to listen to Corea is itself a bit of a magic
carpet ride, given the range of material he has created and the
breadth and depth of that work. Experiencing Chick Corea introduces
this American Icon to audiences beyond the domain of jazz fans
already familiar with this work. Monika Herzig places Corea's
creations in their historical and social contexts so any music
lover can gain a fuller understanding of the incredible range of
his work.
