The keyboardist, composer and bandleader is a DownBeat Hall-of-Famer and NEA Jazz Master, as well as the fourth most nominated artist in Grammy Award history with 63 nods and 22 wins. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, children’s songs to chamber and symphonic works, Corea has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career since playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late 1960s and early ’70s. At this special concert, Corea will share the stage with legendary bassist and two-time Grammy Award winner Gomez, whose impressive resume includes performances with jazz giants such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Bill Evans, Gerry Mulligan and Benny Goodman. Rounding out the trio is Blade, a multitalented young veteran who is already widely respected in the jazz world as drummer/composer/leader of Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band, with whom he has released three albums. He is also the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell and Emmylou Harris.
