Hill Auditorium
Chick Corea Trilogy
with Christian McBride and Brian Blade
$12-20 student tickets available
American jazz legend Chick Corea brings together bass powerhouse Christian McBride and drum master Brian Blade for this special concert.
Their first outing as a trio, in 2014, resulted in a three-CD set, Trilogy, which earned two Grammy Awards. Corea, who began playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late 1960s and early ’70s has moved from straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, and children’s songs to symphonic works, all while racking up 63 Grammy nominations and 22 wins. Bassist Christian McBride is a force of nature, fusing the fire and fury of a virtuoso with the depth and grounding of a seasoned journeyman. Drummer Brian Blade, who has performed with Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell, and Emmylou Harris, completes the rhythm section.
