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 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 continues to forge ahead, continually reinventing himself in the process.

Chick Corea (piano), jazz legend and one of the all-time top Grammy-winning musicians

Kenny Garrett (sax), Miles Davis band alumnus, Grammy-nominated solo artist and a force of nature on the alto sax

Christian McBride (bass), brilliant Grammy-winning bassist and bandleader, and a go-to bassist for Sting and Pat Metheny

Roy Haynes (drums) helped found modern jazz playing alongside Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and pretty much everybody in between. A national treasure.
