Chick Corea, Eddie Gomez, Paul Motian & Hubert Laws Stun the Audience at Blue Note
NEA Jazz Master, 16-time Grammy winner, prolific composer and undisputed keyboard virtuoso, Chick Corea, along with Eddie Gomez, Paul Motian and Hubert Laws, stunned the audience at Blue Note with their amazing performance on May 13, 2010. The man who is known for never hitting the wrong key, Chick Corea, dazzled the audience with his preciseness, finesse, creativity, enthusiasm and charismatic personality. The quartet played several Thelonious Monk Compositions, including “Ask Me Now” and “Bluehawk” (please view the videos below). Eddie Gomez, the legendary bassist from Puerto Rico, impressed the audience with his fire and passion while keeping “in-sync” with Corea. Gomez marvelled the crowd at the very end with a short solo (video below). Paul Motian, an American jazz drummer, percussionist and composer of Armenian extraction, kept the rhythm going and unleashed his talents as one of the most influential drummers. Internationally renowned flutist, Hubert Laws, not only lived up to his status as master of all masters, but his playfulness and sense of humor kept the audience intrigued and focused on his next move. I was absolutely blown away last night. Once again, Blue Note does not cease to amaze…
