Celebrating Chick Corea – presented by North Devon Jazz Club
Top drummer Tristan Mailliot will bring a superb quartet to The Beaver, Appledore on 11th May to celebrate the music of the great pianist/composer Chick Corea. Tristan will be joined by award-winning young saxophonist Tom Ridout and two very accomplished musicians from the South West, pianist Tom Ball and bass player Jim Rentoul.
Together The Tristan Mailliot Quartet will explore a selection of compositions by Chick Corea who came to prominence in the late 1960s with Miles Davis and who left a legacy of more than seventy albums as leader and composer when he died in 2021.
Covering the popular Latin-influenced classics such as Spain and Armando’s Rhumba to the lesser known Morning Sprite, the introspective Futures and the modal jazz of Humpty Dumpty and Snapshot, the varied programme will also include some of Chick’s favourite standard ballads and will reference all six decades of Chick Corea’s monumental musical legacy.
The gig starts at 8:30pm and is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee. A collection will be taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
