Corea and Burton first combined their talents with their 1972 debut release "Crystal Silence." After recording five albums, they have earned two Grammy awards together. While their live performances together are rare, their musical connection is always strong.
"It's never been a reunion," Corea says. "Me and Gary continue to just play […] It's kind of worked out very, very nicely. It's a special little place that's all its own; Just me and him."
People who have been lucky enough to catch the duo's performances have been extremely impressed.
"Both Corea and Burton have their individual musical quirks, but the way they read each other and improvise makes listening to them a veritable pleasure," says Jerry D'Souza of AllAboutJazz.com.
This performance is certainly a must for any student who has even a mild interest in jazz. The duo is playing Friday and Saturday night at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts. The performance will start at 8 p.m. both nights and doors will open at 7 p.m. Student tickets are $14 and $20.
