New Corea – jazz/classical

November 14, 1999 By Michael Fitzgerald

Originally published at rec.music.bluenote

Was surprised to see a new CD of Chick Corea at my local store – I knew that it was coming, but didn’t know when. Anyway, it’s very nice. Only two selections – a revised arrangement of “Spain” with his entire Origin band alongside the London Philharmonic and then the premiere recording of Chick’s Piano Concerto (which I first heard back in early 1986 and have been clamoring to get released since then).

Sphere Reborn

December 25, 1998 By Michael Fitzgerald

Jazz Piano in New Jersey – Keith Jarrett is BACK!

November 15, 1998 By Michael Fitzgerald

Originally published at rec.music.bluenote

Well, after two years of doing without, we have Keith Jarrett back on the scene. I suppose I should preface my remarks by saying that I consider him to be the finest jazz musician living today.

His concert at the NJ Performing Arts Center on Saturday night was well attended and he was very well received.
