When it rains, it pours. As if there were not enough fantastic live music acts coming to Shanghai over the holiday, we’ve discovered that there is one more to add to the list. 12-time Grammy Award winner Chick Corea will be playing a solo piano concert at the Oriental Arts Center to begin a number of solo concerts he is doing in China and Europe this month. He played the last three nights in Tokyo with Bela Fleck together, and they will continue touring together next month. That’s a duet we would love to hear, but it looks like they won’t be making it out this way on their tour. The two of them have recently recorded an album together called “The Enchantment” which is already on sale. We haven’t heard it yet but look forward to checking it out!
