People Are Talking: UMS presents Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea at Hill Auditoium:
Agree with some of the sentiments above. Saw Chick with John Mclaughlin few years ago, and Herbie with his combo a decade ago. I much prefer band arrangements, or at least a coherent program. Jazz is already an esoteric art, so free form improvisation between two masters on the same instrument trying to simultaneously play backing and solo components was too much for me. These guys have obviously earned the right to tour in any format they want, but I would not go again.
