Chick Corea and Béla Fleck , two of today’s most creative musicians, will visit Sewanee as part of their exciting new tour. Together, their stunning technique and musical genius produce a sound never heard before. The University’s Performing Arts Series brings them for a concert at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 27, in Guerry Auditorium.
Corea and Fleck, two master songwriters, musicians, and band leaders meet in a historic duet of piano and banjo. The Grammy-winning duet will combine Corea and Fleck’s most recognizable tunes with the music from their Latin Grammy-winning album, “The Enchantment.”
With a mix of jazz and pop standards, crossing a myriad of genres including jazz, bluegrass, rock, flamenco and gospel, this will be a casual, intimate evening with two legends from different musical worlds.
Fleck’s intense musical curiosity and spirit of innovation have drawn him into nearly every genre of music, stretching the boundaries of each and producing extraordinary collaborations. He has worked in bluegrass, country, jazz and world music, and won multiple Grammy Awards.
A DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, 20-time Grammy winner and undisputed keyboard virtuoso, Corea has attained living legend status after four decades of unparalleled creativity and artistic output. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to fusion, children’s songs to chamber music, Corea has touched an astonishing number of musical bases while maintaining a singular standard of excellence.
