Ken (and anyone else interested), I just have to say that seeing two jazz piano legends sit down and exchange point/counterpoint and improvising off of one another, exploring themes, melodies, lyrical meanderings, and just plain old having a good time was just a treat. It also happened to be Herbie Hancock's birthday today, so the audience sang hapy birthday for him and Chick Corea went on a riff on that to which Herbie followed. Just a lot of fun, great music and it sounded wonderful in the BSH. For those who might still have a chance to go see them (see schedule in post #1) and if you are a jazz enthusiast (although I would say simply if you are a music enthusiast), go see these gentleman playing at the top of their game. Very cool show!
