Original show description below.
The late pianist and composer Chick Corea is the focus of this night, the second all-star concert celebrating the SFJAZZ Center’s 10th Anniversary.
In this special evening of music, 2022 NEA Jazz Master Stanley Clarke (one of the founding members and collaborators with Chick Corea in Return to Forever) celebrates the music he and his friends made with the worldwide success of Romantic Warrior and the other albums the band created. This performance will pass that joy and messaging on to the next generations by presenting both music from that time as well as original songs written and arranged by Stanley Clarke.

Clarke’s virtuosic young band for this monumental night includes keyboardist Jaharis Stampley, guitarist Colin Cook, and drummer Jeremiah Collier.
This performance is a much-deserved salute to one of the most influential musicians and composers of the 20th and 21st centuries — an artist, like the week’s fellow late honoree McCoy Tyner — who had a long and momentous relationship with SFJAZZ and helped consecrate the Miner Auditorium stage at the SFJAZZ Center’s Opening Night concert in January 2013.
This performance is a much-deserved salute to the late great Chick Corea, who performed during SFJAZZ Center's Historic Opening Night Concert in 2013.
