sfchorn Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Saw an incredible concert in Austin Sunday night. Chick Corea and Bela Fleck are two musical greats that most people have never heard of. Chick is a long-time jazz pianist with 20 Grammys to his credit. Bela is a jazz banjo player (yes, you read that correctly). As the relative youngster of the duo, Bela has only won 15 Grammys (so far). They wailed. Seriously wailed. Thank you, Gentlemen. Thank you.

ChuckS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have never seen fleck but I have a few Return to Forever shows in my distant past and some MP3's in my car . Glad to hear Chick is still going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickRak2000 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Piano players need to check out Gonzalo Rubalcaba (from Cuba now living in USA). Absolute MONSTER. Plenty of youtube stuff out there. Burns down the piano like Oscar Peterson. I saw a duet with him and Chick Corea. I believe Corea was seriously intimidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
