Copacabana: From Chick’s Camera

by ChickCorea on June 15, 2012

They were dreary days in Rio – - but the audience was great. Copacabana has such history – - no matter what else is going on in Rio, there’s always some space and good feelings on the beach. Ipanema is the next beach over – that’s where “The Girl . . . . ” came from :-)

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.

    Hello Chick, nMy name is Mariano, my email is tone_40@hotmail.com. nu00a0I currently live in Curutiba, Brazil. I would like to know if you have any plans to come down here on 2013/14 since I would love to go to one of your shows. nYou might not remmeber me, but on year 2000 we, (you, your wife and me) shared a table at the Cristal Ball room at the Fort Harrison in a conference. We did some exercises and was a very nice time. The most funny thing was that I was too yougu00a0 and I did not recognize you during the night, but only when the night was over and I went home, and I couldnu00b4t believe it.nHope to hear from you and to know if you are having any plans to come to Brazil. nBe my guest. nBest regards, Mariano
