27-time Grammy winner Chick Corea’s collaboration with the renowned Chamber Orchestra of Sardinia. A masterful fusion of classical and jazz that brings a fresh vitality to the music of Mozart & Gershwin.
Jazz master Chick Corea’s unconventional vision of a classical performance shines through in his interaction with the Orchestra da Camera Della Sardegna, turning the acclaimed chamber orchestra into a large-scale jazz ensemble. His unorthodox approach adds a touch of playfulness to the Mozart & Gershwin pieces performed while upholding Corea’s obvious reverence for their music. His joyous fusion sets the tone for the musicians and the audience, creating a truly captivating and boundarypushing experience.
The recording captures the essence of Corea’s musical vision, his appreciation for classical traditions, and his undeniable genius as a performer and improviser. It stands as a testament to his lasting influence and his eternal quest to push the boundaries of music.
Through his work as a composer and a performer, he sought to bridge the gap between genres, embracing the universality and enduring power of classical music. Corea realized this ambition fully during this live performance and was eager to release the recording as an album that would inspire jazz and classical music lovers equally.
Candid Records is proud to bring this extraordinary recording to his fans as he envisioned it.
