Chick Corea is my favorite pianist and also one of the best in the world. I’m sure that many of you would agree with me about that. I kinda like this performance more than others I’ve seen for a few reason.
Firstly, ‘Spain’ is also my favorite Chick Corea’s piece. Secondly, the way he perform with Hiromi has produced such a wonderful and unique mix of the western and eastern flavour. (even though what she played is not really eastern, but I still smell it!) Thirdly, I like how Chick Corea was so calm when he was performing versus Hiromi obviously tried to give her best shot. Anyway, I like this video so much that I would like this video to be the first performance video on this blog!
Performance Details:
Live in Tokyo on September 2nd-3rd 2006, at Tokyo Jazz Festival 2006 in Japan. Chick Corea and Hiromi Uehara play “Spain” (by Chick Corea). They played together again on September 2007.
