(noticia) Chick Corea & Touchstone in the Queen Elizabeth Hall

This special concert on Thursday 19 January 2006 is a rare opportunity to hear in London 'unquestionably one of the most improvisationally fluent and technically commanding jazz pianists ever' (Guardian) with his new band, Touchstone, in their only European date. Heard in this country only once before, at a sell-out Barbican event, Touchstone reflects Corea's longstanding fascination with the rhythms and sounds of Spain. It features saxophonist Jorge Pardo and percussionist Rubem Dantas (both stalwarts of Paco de Lucia's band), flamenco-inspired bassist Carles Benavent and drummer Tom Brechtlein.
