Easy access - Sir, a long time is a courtesy. Vibraphonist Gary Burton - Vice President of the famous Berkeley College of Music, a successful teacher and artist of the current global scale. Star. Legend. Idol. For pianist Chick Corea - can handle easily, except himself, Gary Burton, and a few dozen people from the world of jazz elite. Others are simply amazed by the size of such a great personality, although, as he Corea, all wrong says. Although he - a star, a legend and idol of several generations. Chick Corea (Chick Corea) and Gary Burton (Gary Burton) this year, the duo Chick Corea and Gary Burton celebrate two anniversaries at once. First, the 70-year anniversary of Chick Corea, which is time and a world tour. Second, 40 years ago, she and Burton first came together on one stage. And then, in 1971, in the conference room for a few hours there was great swing. Musicians from God! No more, no less. As each of their joint performance is as great an event as in his time, the union of the three legendary opera tenors. That means not a lot, but in the apple. Chick Corea and Gary Burton - two strong personalities who are on their own jazz-vectors. Every one of them deserves a separate novel. But when the musicians' interests intersect - this is just to say, as an event of immense cultural significance. The reason - the enormous talent of the musicians. This is first. Second, each of them can be connected to the group of people who move due musical progress. What Corea that Burton, in his mature years already - enthusiastic and energetic innovators. Every time they offer the students their own, original perspective on the art of jazz. It can only repeat or pale copy. Create your own distinctive voice from the first notes - only chosen. Its exclusivity Burton and Corea was in his youth. Both studied music from childhood to 20 years had serious professionals. Burton was in the Stan Getz Quartet noticeable. Magazine "Downbeat" then called him the best performance, and soon the best musicians of 1966. In 1968, Corea and shone as one of the best pianists in the Miles Davis. Thus began her great career that soon caught up in the first joint statement '71. Visited at the feet of Burton and Corea have all sorts of festivals and all the great concert halls. Today at all to him, the most important engagements. But the money for these grants is not important. With music - only for love. And then the work will not be any restrictions. For example, Burton, in his free time, swing, like tango dancing. They say that in Buenos Aires, it is perhaps the best performance of this passionate music. Joint experiments with luminaries such as Astor Piazzolla show it clearly. Coria doted turn to classical music. An example - joint performances with the London Symphony Orchestra. Beethoven, Mozart (sometimes in jazz interpretation) - frequent visitors to his studio. And, of course, Spanish rhythms already become a classical pianist, just remember that game, "Spain." The most talented fans can even repeated his rhythmic patterns. Incidentally, in the USSR, these rhythms sounded several times for an encore in the early 80s. U.S. ambassador then arranged a series of concerts to get a better sample Soviet public culture abroad. For Jazz then sent him to Chick Corea. Burton - also no stranger to Russia. His first visit to our country meet at a time when foreigners were banned on the streets. In the USSR, Burton was uncomfortable. But today of Russia speaks only in superlatives. "The audience was relaxed and mobility", - says the musician. In fact, today, every melody played vibraphone greeted with enthusiasm. His success and Corea and Burton is associated only with a thorough understanding of the art of jazz improvisation. One skill that navigate freely in all styles of music. Whoever they play, from Bobby McFerrin and Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, and Paco de Lucia, each a sense of harmony. Incidentally, the list of stars who had the honor to speak with Corea and Burton just pointless. Corea and Burton - friends, colleagues, and understand each other perfectly. The only word she can talk healthy dose of adrenaline - the word "Grammy". Gary compete here after the other can not. 16 Awards "Grammy" and a large number of nominations against Coria 6 Awards Burton, which in itself -. Also admirably With five awards from the list each band received for the joint work. But the number of plates they recorded separately from each other, they stopped counting. Each figure has already exceeded one hundred. And each album - definitely a bright trace in our general music history. 4th and 5 April creative ways of Gary Burton and Chick Corea cross again. Fortunately for the Russian fans, it will be held in the Svetlanov Hall of the Moscow House of Music. The lobby is reminiscent certainly legendary and projects Corea "Return to Forever", "Electric Band," "Acoustic Band". Remembering and soulful albums Burton "New Vibe Man in Town," "Alone At Last" and "The New Crystal Silence," recorded with the same Chick Corea in 2008. On stage, Corea and Burton is at the celebration for the first time playing classical music - classics of popular music. From "The Beatles" and Antonio Carlos Jobim to Kurt Weill and Dave Brubeck. Exclusive Arrangements - a unique achievement. Concerts start at 20.00 clock
