Little Bang Theory

Music, The Voice of God. June 23, 2007

If you’re a musician of any ilk, you probably already know about Gary Burton and Chick Corea. If you’re not a musician, here’s a clip of them doing what they do best, combining their jaw-dropping musical virtuosity with their visionary lyricism.

I’ve seen both of these gentlemen live, solo and in ensemble. Their performances have left me trembling and in tears. Burton has said that his body offers no limitations on his playing; if his mind can conceive it, the music comes out his hands unimpeded. And Chick has one of the most impressive discographies in modern jazz, embodying the best of sub-genres ranging from solo acoustic ballads to the kick-ass fusion of Return To Forever. Enjoy!
