Hiromi and Stanley Clarke celebrate the music of Chick Corea and Beyond

Four-time Grammy Award–winner Stanley Clarke is a living legend jazz bass virtuoso. In 1972, he founded the groundbreaking jazz-rock fusion band Return to Forever alongside Chick Corea. Now collaborating with the innovative pianist Hiromi—who also performed and recorded with Corea—and joined by the PUBLIQuartet, they pay tribute to the late great keyboardist with a program of Corea’s works and original compositions he inspired.

“Chick was like a brother to me,” Clarke says. “What really created the bond between us was our similar beliefs in the power of the individual to create the most beautiful and inspiring art—the great healer—for people.”

In Collaboration With

Our Amazing Performers

Born in Hamamatsu, Japan, Hiromi began studying piano at six and was invited by Chick Corea to perform with him in Tokyo at seventeen. She studied at Berklee College of Music under mentor Ahmad Jamal before releasing her debut album, Another Mind, in 2003. Since then, her genre-defying sound has erased the lines between jazz and classical, composition and improvisation, across twelve studio albums, including her latest, Sonicwonderland, with her new quartet Sonicwonder. A perennial favorite in DownBeat’s Critics and Readers Polls, Hiromi has performed at Montreux, Newport, and Monterey, and was a featured performer at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony.

Discovered on an abandoned double bass in his Philadelphia school band room, Stanley Clarke made his professional debut at fifteen and went on to redefine the instrument’s place on stage. In New York, a chance meeting with Chick Corea led to Return to Forever, the groundbreaking fusion band that made Clarke the first jazz-fusion bassist to headline sold-out tours worldwide. A four-time Grammy winner with some 70 film and television scoring credits, including Boyz N the Hood, Clarke has also composed for orchestras, led his own celebrated bands, and founded the Stanley Clarke Foundation to support young musicians.
