Chick Corea and Gary Burton are indisputably two of the biggest names in modern jazz. Each a musical giant in his own right, as a duo they are nothing short of legendary.
A Downbeat Hall-of-Famer, 20-time Grammy winner, keyboard virtuoso and prolific composer, Chick Corea has attained living legend status after five decades of unparalleled creativity and invention. Since his days with the Stan Getz Quartet, Gary Burton has played a founding role in the birth of jazz fusion and established himself as jazz’s most innovative and accomplished vibraphonist.
Their enduring musical partnership occupies a special place in music history, continually redefining the standard for the jazz duo format for over 40 years. Delving into material from the jazz world and beyond with their trademark timbral blend, mercurial interplay and joyful spontaneity, this concert will demonstrate why they remain the most exciting duo in modern jazz.
