Info for Plays

Plays aus dem Jahr 2020 ist ein packendes und zugleich intimes Doppelalbum mit Soloaufnahmen des Jazz-Pianisten Chick Corea. Corea widmet sich seinen Lieblingskomponisten und reist dabei quer durch die Musikgeschichte: von klassischen Stücken Mozarts und Chopins zu Jazz-Größen wie Thelonious Monk und Bill Evans zu Pop von Stevie Wonder und Bossa Nova von Jobim. Die Einspielungen auf Plays stammen aus früheren Alben, entstanden eigens für die neue Veröffentlichung im Studio oder wurden bei Konzerten live eingefangen.

Chick Corea ergänzt seine bemerkenswerte Diskographie mit dem Album Plays, ein fesselndes und intimes Album mit Soloauftritten. Obwohl er behauptet, dass "Solo-Klavier einsam ist", befindet sich Chick Corea auf diesem Album in guter Gesellschaft und engagiert sich mit mehreren seiner Lieblingskomponisten. Die Liste der Ikonen repräsentiert einen weiten Bereich der Musikgeschichte, vom klassischen Repertoire von Mozart und Chopin über prägende Jazz-Einflüsse wie Thelonious Monk und Bill Evans bis hin zu den Klassikern des Great American Songbook, der Bossa Nova-Schönheit von Jobim und dem modernen Pop Sensibilität von Stevie Wonder. Da im letzten halben Jahrhundert unzählige Klassiker zum Standard geworden sind, hat Chick Corea es verdient, seinen Platz in diesem Pantheon einzunehmen. Plays enthält auch eine Reihe von Stücken - aus früheren Alben übernommen oder spontan improvisiert - aus seinem eigenen Songbook. Das Album zeigt auch seine charmante Beziehung zu einem begeisterten Publikum in Konzertsälen in ganz Europa und den USA, die zu integralen Mitarbeitern dieser temperamentvollen Interpretationen werden.

Chick Corea, Klavier

Chick Corea
An NEA Jazz Master, 16-time Grammy® winner, prolific composer and undisputed keyboard virtuoso, Chick Corea has attained living legend status after four decades of unparalleled creativity and an artistic output that is simply staggering.

From straight ahead to avant-garde, bebop to fusion, children’s songs to chamber music, along with some far-reaching forays into symphonic works, Chick Corea has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his illustrious career while maintaining a standard of excellence that is awe-inspiring. A tirelessly creative spirit, Chick Corea continues to forge ahead, continually reinventing himself in the process.

Chick Corea began his career with apprenticeships with the likes of Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan and Miles Davis’s band, where he participated in such landmark sessions as In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Embarking on a solo career in 1966, Chick Corea has been at the forefront of jazz, both as a renowned pianist forging new ground with his acoustic jazz bands and as an innovative electric keyboardist with Return to Forever and the Elektric Band. His extensive discography boasts numerous essential albums, beginning with his 1968 classic, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs.

Chick Corea continues to make a significant impact on the scene, as evidenced by 2007’s Grammy®-winning The Enchantment (duets with banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck), 2008’s The New Crystal Silence (duets with long-standing collaborator Gary Burton), 2009’s Returns (documenting Return To Forever’s 2008 reunion tour) and 2009’s Grammy®-winning Five Peace Band Live (with John McLaughlin, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Colaiuta).

2011 demonstrated Chick Corea’s virtuosity in all its forms: he mounted a hugely successful world tour with Return to Forever IV, received a Latin Grammy® for the Corea, Clarke & White album Forever, released the acclaimed piano duet album Orvieto with Stefano Bollani, recorded his second concerto, The Continents, with a 30-piece orchestra (due for release on Deutsche Grammophon in February 2012) and capped the year with a month-long, career-spanning residency at New York’s Blue Note, featuring ten bands, including John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock and Bobby McFerrin.
