Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani rewrite, or at the very least extend, the jazz piano rulebook at a historic duo performance at Umbria’s Teatro Mancinelli.

Corea forged his reputation as perhaps acoustic piano’s bravest improviser with a string of ECM masterpieces before leaving the label for greenbacker pasture$. In his first ECM disc in 25 years he may be passing the torch to Bollani, the young Italian polymath. The unstoppable program is basically one unbroken stream of almost cheeky creativity, covering Jobim, Waller, Miles, straight blues, spacey avant-improv and more. Serious fun.
