Two jazz greats come together for this wonderful version of Some Day My Prince Will Come. Taken from the 1979 live album AN EVENING WITH HERBIE HANCOCK & CHICK COREA: IN CONCERT, the song features Hancock and Corea on two grand pianos playing a duet. The result is quite remarkable.
HERBIE HANCOCK, whose jazz piano greatly influenced the definition of 'rhythm section', started his career as a concert pianist by quickly found his love for jazz. He joined the Miles Davis quintet and recorded some of the most influential jazz albums of the sixties. In later years he composed the soundtrack to Bill Cosby's Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and later moved into funk, bebop and rock.
CHICK COREA is a jazz pianist and drummer who has recorded dozens of albums and won over a dozen Grammy Awards for his influential music. Taking Hancock's place as Miles Davis' pianist in 1968, Corea help define and develop jazz fusion, the amalgamation of jazz with other genres of music, such as rock, funk, folk, classical and even hip-hop and metal.
Listen to this song and wonder at the amazing talent of these two people.
