This is the biggest international name we've had on our program, ever! It is virtually a sensation that an artist of this magnitude is playing at an intimate stage such as Victoria. The audience will get an unique chance for a close encounter with one of history's greatest jazz musicians.

The piano legend has again plugged in the keyboard and deliveres perhaps his strongest music in years. The album "The Vigil" and the band bearing the same name, is composed leaving scope for progressive excursions and riveting listening. "The Vigil" has been hailed by critics as a dynamic and intense album, where Corea brings new energy and very exciting ideas to the platter. The band shows enormous talent and great solo performances.

Chick Corea was born as an artist as Miles Davis kicked jazz into fusion: eclectic, electric and extraterrestial. In a way Corea is there again, now in his own distinctive way. We are looking forward to this super team of musicians with one of the most exciting pianists in front!

Chick Corea - piano / keys, Charles Altura - guitar, Carlitos Del Puerto - bass, Luisito Quintero - percussion, Tim Garland - woodwind and Marcus Gilmore - drums
