What's Ahead in 2010 Duos, Trios and Beyond A tirelessly creative spirit, Chick already has a full agenda of live jazz concerts and projects scheduled that will take him into 2011. |

| "I decided when I was a young man to make it as my primary policy to always keep myself interested and challenged with music," says the jazz great. "I've managed to avoid falling into the habit of doing the same thing over and over again, and it’s really proved to be a good thing for me. I don’t care about the other things, I care that I’m having a lot of fun and creating. So I feel honored and lucky to be able to continue to do that." | ||

June-July-August
McBride and Garrett both previously played in Chick’s Remembering Bud Powell group and the Five Peace Band. Haynes was also a member of Remembering Bud Powell and played on Chick’s landmark 1968 recording, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Corea is writing new music for this group. “The Freedom Band is a meeting of free spirits in music,” says Chick. “The art and practice of improvisation will be our platform. The quartet will be celebrating freedom of expression and freedom to make music the way we feel at the moment. This is our definition of 'freedom.'" July Chick tours Italy in a series of solo dates and bracing duet concerts with Italian pianist Stefano Bollani, rekindling their rare chemistry from the previous year. August-September Chick embarks on a reunion tour with drummer Roy Haynes and bassist Miroslav Vitous, who together created the magical trio interplay on the 1968 landmark Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. The trio (which also released 1981‘s Trio Music and 1985‘s Trio Music: Live in Europe) will tour Europe and Israel, recreating such classic Corea compositions as “Matrix,” “The Law of Falling and Catching Up” and “Now He Sings, Now He Sobs,” along with extrapolations on Thelonious Monk compositions and jazz standards. September-December January 2011 Chick kicks off the new year with a gala performance of his compositions with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by trumpeter and artistic director Wynton Marsalis. |
