Chick Corea Trio

Chick tours with his new trio featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade. This trio of megawatt superstars will explore the dynamic of the new and give a new slant to the standards.

Dee Dee Bridgewater Lady Day

Dee Dee Bridgewater will pay tribute to Billie Holiday on her upcoming release, Eleanora Fagan (1917-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee (DDB Records/Emarcy). "This project is my way of paying my respect to a vocalist who made it possible for singers like me to carve out a career for ourselves. I wanted Eleanora Fagan to be something different: more modern and a celebration. I wanted the project to be joyful."
