A DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, 20-time Grammy winner, an undisputed keyboard virtuoso, Chick Corea has attained living legend status after four decades of unparalleled creativity and an artistic output that is simply staggering. In 2012, Corea took home two Grammys, including Best Improvised Jazz Solo, for Forever, the 2-CD set recored on his acoustic trio tour with Return to Forever bandmates Stanley Clarke and Lenny White. The two honors were, remarkably, Corea’s 17th and 18th Grammy Awards.
Corea’s upcoming schedule continues his unbroken string of productivity, with three world tours and four new albums: the critically-acclaimed Further Explorations; The Continents: Concerto for Jazz Quintet and Chamber Orchestra, an ambitious new classical release and a crowning achievement in his work as a master composer; Hot House, a transcendent new set of standards in his Grammy-winning duet with Gary Burton; and the historic release of Return to Forever’s latest live album, The Mothership Returns.
