I attended an excellent concert yesterday by Chick's latest trio at Jacob's Pillow in Becket, Mass. The players were: Chick Corea, piano; Miroslav Vitous, bass; and Roy Haynes, drums. The trio had just played the day before at the Kool Jazz Fes- tival, New York. (Incidently, Brown & Williamson Tobacco has de- cided to get out of the jazz business; this is the last year of the Kool Jazz Festival. No doubt George Wein can find a new sponsor. Maybe JVC ... ) Recently, they toured Europe and made some live concert recordings, which are scheduled to be released as Chick's next album. This is not really a "new" band. They have recorded together before (as long ago as '68). The concert was one ninety minute set. Each player did one solo piece (to give the other players a rest, and to make for a more interesting show). The repertoire included _Mirror Vision_ by Miroslav; _Hackensack_ by Monk; and a very clever arrangement of _Night and Day_ (which Chick said was by Frank Sinatra) :-) The group worked very well as an ensemble, and the solo playing was superb. Roy's dynamic range was wild. From a drumroll with mallets that must have been inaudible in the back row to kicks as loud as Alex Van Halen. Good pedal technique on the kettledrum, too. As usual, Chick was magnificent on the piano (a 97-key Boesendorfer), and likewise Miroslav on upright bass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _TT /| |~ Mark C.
