One of the most awarded and recognized musicians, inside and outside the world of jazz, winner of over twenty Grammy awards, Chick Corea is one of the most brilliant pianists and composers in the history of jazz. Chick Corea was also the winner of the annual San Javier Jazz Award in 2018 when, with his Akoustic Band, he offered us a wonderful concert, that will make history among the best of the festival. We could not miss the opportunity to offer the fans of the festival the project presented this year, “My Spanish Heart” revisited. That album dated from 1976 was one of the most successful of his discography, and perhaps the one where we can best perceive his love for music with Spanish roots. A fantastic band accompanies the great maestro and he has invited two renowned Spanish jazz stars: Jorge Pardo at saxophones and flute and Niño Josele at the guitar.
