Info zu Two (Live)

2006 haben sich Chick Corea und Béla Fleck zu einer ungewöhnlichen Paarung aus Klavier und Banjo zusammengefunden, um Unerforschtes zu erkunden – ein absolutes Neuland. Das daraus entstandene Album The Enchantment wurde nicht nur als eine der besten Aufnahmen des Jahres 2007 erachtet, sondern war auch der Auslöser für mehrjährige internationale Live-Touren durch ausgeverkaufte Hallen.

Die besten Aufnahmen aus diesen Jahren bilden das Live-Doppelalbum Two. Die Titelliste umfasst überarbeitete Kompositionen aus The Enchantment, Klassikern von Chick Corea und Béla Fleck sowie neue Kompositionen, welche in dieser Zeit dem Repertoire hinzugefügt wurden.

Auf Two tritt die gegenseitige Achtung und Wertschätzung der Musik des jeweils anderen in den Vordergrund. Die Musiker lieben es, spontan zu sein. Für Béla Fleck bedeutet das Zusammenspiel mit Chick Corea einen Höhepunkt seines musikalischen Lebens. Für Chick Corea ist Béla Fleck eine kontinuierliche Quelle der Kreativität.

"Auf der Basis freundschaftlicher Kommunikation lassen die Künstler die Musik einfach laufen, was auf ihrem Niveau noch immer so klingt, als wäre es perfekt von vornherein geplant." (Jazzthing)

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.
