Description
Chick Corea releases 'The Musician': a new feature-length documentary film and 3-Disc set chronicling historic birthday concerts with ten different bands and 28 legendary musicians. This deluxe hardcover edition, includes the film on Blu-ray, in addition to the 3 CDs, an essay by Robin D. G. Kelley and exclusive photos.
This set captures Corea's 70th birthday celebration at the famed Blue Note Jazz Club in 2011, where he assembled a staggering lineup of musical friends - among them Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, John McLaughlin, Stanley Clarke, Gary Bartz and Gary Burton - for a month-long residency featuring ten different bands, including triumphal sets by his own Chick Corea Elektric Band and Return to Forever.
All of it is captured brilliantly in the first feature-length documentary on Corea's life, music and genius musical partners. The film takes you inside the heads and "hangs" of some of the greatest artists of our time - backstage and personal - and the CDs capture almost four hours of live recordings of every band.
