Made in Corea Celebrates 10 Years

Welcome to the 10th Aniversary of Made In Corea. I’m always so honored by the care and depth which Jarle, Ola, Fredrik and Erik arrange and present my compositions. I don’t know of another composer who is so honored as I am.

These four wonderful musicians have performed aspects of my compositions that I never thought other musicians would try. That’s very adventurous – and it is inspiring for me to realize that my compositions can be played so beautifully by musicians other than myself and my own bands. So by
this, you have of course encouraged me to compose more and more. Thank you for that encouragement.

This is the 10th year of Made In Corea’s life and I send my congratulations, love and admiration to the founding quartet and to all the other musicians participating in this wonderful Festival.

I will look forward to hearing the recordings you make of these concerts.

Good luck and cheers.

And:

Keep the Music Fires burning bright – -

Chick's acclaim as one of the most revelatory composers and pianists of the last 50 years rests on the awesome diversity of his work. There's hardly a branch of modern music that Chick hasn't shaped in some way, from acoustic and electric jazz to avant-garde and full-orchestra classical. His musical voice is completely distinct, and yet always purely adventurous.

    What a great band Made In Corea are !!u00a0 This is the first time i have heard this unit. nn”SECRET AGENT” album took me years to get a hold of and i never new of any band to reproduce their own versions of material from this album.u00a0 i am a massive Chick fan and transcriber/arranger and this band has really done something very special with this particular composition.u00a0 It’s one thing being able to transcribe/arrange/play this material but a totally different thing when an ensemble breaks new ground and takes it to the next level !!nnThe female lead vocalist is outstanding !!nnReally well done guys.u00a0 Great work.
