Gary Burton & Chick Corea: Budapest Spring Festival

О событии

Enjoy a concert with Gary Burton & Chick Corea at the "Percussion Day" as part of the Budapest Spring Festival.

The legendary duo owes its existence to a fluke. Over three decades ago, the organizers of a German jazz festival requested all participants to join forces in a jam session, a finale for the event. Only two musicians agreed to do so, and Burton and Corea found themselves on stage in each other’s company. The overwhelming success of their performance encouraged them to record an album together. “When Crystal Silence came out, there was a freshness about it that was so beautifully captured by the title, the gorgeous photo on the cover and everything that was included in the tunes and the improvising and general conception of the music,” wrote Pat Metheny thirty‐five years later.

Percussion Day Programme:
8.30 pm / Béla Bartók National Concert Hall

Recital by Gary Burton (percussions) & Chick Corea (piano)
