People Are Talking: UMS presents Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea at Hill Auditoium:
I do believe some of these people miss the point in jazz improvisation. Improvisation is what jazz is all about. That’s what Chick and Herbie do so brilliantly. Here’s 2 of the masters performing in front of you, “bare bones”, letting their audience witness how this highly crafted art is done in it’s infancy. “In other words “from nothing”, and creating it on the spot. It’s a fine art! If anything was read off of sheet of music it was very minimal. If any of you who are complaining about how they did this then try doing it yourself and see how well you fair. Maybe then you might have some appreciation for how wonderful they pulled it off.
