Guitar legend John McLaughlin joins Chick in the Five Peace Band, also featuring Kenny Garrett, John Patitucci and Brian Blade. Having RTF and John McLaughlin on the bill in the same week is like seeing the Beatles & Stones of jazz/rock fusion. The band's CD Five Peace Band Live won the 2010 Best Jazz Instrumental Album Grammy® award.

4. Bobby McFerrin Duet

Their musical chemistry is legendary — a high-wire act without a net. Also look for some special guests to join them.

7. Chick's Flamenco Heart

Passionate, fiery and soulful, the top Flamenco and Spanish jazz artists meld with Chick: Latin superstar Concha Buika, the African-Inspired Flamenco singer who sold out New York's Town Hall; flamenco legends guitarist Nino Josele, bassist Carles Benavent and flautist Jorge Pardo (all veterans of Paco De Lucia's band); and one of Spain's most in-demand drummers, Jeff Ballard (who moved to the country to be immersed in his love of Spanish/Flamenco rhythms). Appropriately dubbed Chick’s Flamenco Heart, this is an extension of Chick’s landmark album My Spanish Heart and his most famous composition—"Spain."

8. Marcus Roberts Piano Duet

9. Herbie Hancock Piano Duet
One night only! An unbelievable must-see show: Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, piano duet. In 1978, at the height of electric jazz, Corea & Hancock shocked the jazz world by touring as an acoustic piano duet. Since that legendary pairing, their collaborations have been extremely rare.

Chick wraps up the month with the original Elektric Band: Eric Marienthal, Frank Gambale, John Patitucci and Dave Weckl. This is the lineup that defined the sound of electric jazz in the 1980s, with a series of masterpieces including Light Years and Eye of the Beholder.

The man certainly doesn't show signs of slowing down. Cool

I saw this in the newsletter I got emailed, where it also mentioned they were working on both a new CD and DVD for RTF IV.  I'm assuming both will consist of live material, though a studio album with that lineup would be rather interesting.

I saw these a little while ago.  I wish that some of these shows would go on tour.  I hate the Blue Note, it's an uncomfortable tourist trap.
