Chick Corea in Omaha.....beeeeeyoooooootifullllllllll !
For 2 1/2 hours last evening we were more than a zoo, casinos, a West Dodge expressway, and I-teams, because one of the jazz giants of the past 40 years was in our midst.
I am energized for another couple of weeks!

I DEEPLY regret I missed this show..I've liked Chick Corea since his 'Return to Forever' days with bassist Stanley Clarke..
The Yellowjackets will be coming later this year..I plan to attend..I saw them last in Omaha in the mid 80's when they opened for Al Jarreau. They're a very good, solid contemporary/fusion jazz band..
..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Go Cowboys!
I recently got a donation request letter from OPAS that I found interesting enough to revive this thread. What was interesting about it was that they talked of Chick Corea specifically in the letter. In their requests for donations there was a cool remark about how when after his concert was over and everybody had gone from the building, he went out into the empty hall to play for himself. Apparently he liked the feel and acoustics of the room so much that he wanted to give it one more spin. The letter also quoted him as saying "it was one of the best halls he ever played in". Just thought that was cool and worth mentioning, considering the career he has had. Omaha should realize what a gem they have in the Holland Center.
