Listen up, folks – a bonafide supergroup is blowing through town this coming Tuesday, September 28th! Chick Corea along with friends Christian McBride and Brian Blade are set to knock your socks off at BergenPAC in Englewood. Billed as Corea + McBride + Blade, this trio is sure to equal one amazingly good time!

You may remember our coverage of Chick’s set with his Freedom Band (which included McBride) at the Newport Jazz Festival in August. If that show was any indication, the energy at Tuesday’s performance will be positively infectious. Chick played the main stage there, as thousands upon thousands sprawled out across the huge lawn, listening to him bring the house down. Imagine how amazing it will be to hear him play in a more intimate setting.

So check out a video or two, but don’t delay. . . Go here to get your tickets for Tuesday’s performance now!
