Chick Corea: Solo Piano, World Tour 2014 Chick Corea: Solo Piano World Tour 2014 When the legendary artist Chick Corea recorded Piano Improvisations on the ECM label in 1971, he was the first jazz pianist of his era to release such a recording. This groundbreaking album literally opened the floodgates to a new genre of solo piano that continues strong today. In 2014, Chick will be releasing a new solo CD and embarking upon a world tour with a presentation that is as fresh and innovative as ever. With a perfect balance of in-the-moment improvisation, Corea Classics, jazz standards, classical renderings and the inimitable Childrens Songs, it is a must-see concert if there ever was one. The title of the CD, Portraits, derives from something Chick occasionally includes in his solo shows — when the spirit moves him. The artist asks for volunteers from the typically packed house, sits them down one at a time next to the piano and proceeds to paint a musical portrait unique to each individual. Its uncanny how the personality of the person is captured in Chicks improvisations. Its pure Chick Corea spirit of play. Come see for yourself. youtu.be/vuXhu1YpQRI
