Chick Corea Trio, Featuring Christian McBride, Announce Tour
The amazing trio of Chick Corea, Brian Blade, and Christian McBride is hitting the road in October in support of a new album. Trilogy 2 will be their second collection of “virtuosic live performances” that follows up its 2013 predecessor.
“In every group that I work with, the fun factor is the number one criterion,” Corea says. “This trio is incredible fun. That’s not something you can dictate, but if that’s the experience then the music just flows. With Christian and Brian, we have a blast on the road.”
Their upcoming tour will kick off in San Diego, California on October 2nd, two days before the album release. It will take them across the continental U.S. and into Canada. The final date is set for November 1st in Chicago, Illinois.
