Chick Corea Quintet The music of Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Horace Silver and more

Double exceptional appointment at the Foundation and Emilio Vedova Annabianca with one of the pianists who made the history of modern jazz. On 14 and 15 July in Space Widow it will in fact be the key Chick Corea, the head of the quintet "aces" which gathered on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. Will be with him saxophonist Kenny Garrett, Wallace Roney on trumpet, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Marcus Gilmore. Together they will give the public their homage to the "heroes" of the jazz: Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Horace Silver and many others.

Pianist Chick Corea is that crossed the history of jazz the last half century with surprising Innovative charging and constant intake of unusual stimuli and influences from other languages. One of the greatest pianists in jazz history, but also the classical and modern repertoire, Korea is a composer who knew how to connect jazz and improvisation to the demands of the first European avant-garde. His stylistic development - from electric jazz with Miles Davis groups, free improvisation, composition - reveals a constant search for new technical means and expressive timbre.

The double evening opens a cycle conceived by Mario Messinis for Vedova Foundation chaired by Alfredo Bianchini: the Euroamerica project, with American and European authors precisely the late twentieth century and today.
