A rare event awaits when jazz icon and crowd favorite Chick Corea brings his legendary Akoustic Band to the Kongsberg Jazz Festival and is guested on stage by Norwegian jazz star Marius Neset. It's the original band members from the Akoustic Band, with the stylists John Patitucci on bass and Dave Weckl on drums, which is now coming to Kongsberg.

Chick Corea is one of the very few jazz musicians who has star status also among music enthusiasts far beyond the circle of jazz listeners. Ever since he broke through with Miles Davis in the 1960s, he has been a musical figure in the foreground. With a never-failing joy of communication, he has managed to reach a large audience with his lyrical, swinging and melodic music.

Saxophonist and composer Marius Neset has rightly been named one of the most brilliant young musicians not only in Norwegian jazz, but also in an international context. In 2017, Marius Neset received the Kongsberg Jazz Festival's major musician prize, which means that he will be heard in three different contexts at this summer's festival. So one of them is with Chick Corea's trio. It's okay to have high expectations! Maybe we'll hear Corea favorites like La Fiesta and Spain? Anyway - this will definitely be a highlight in Kongsberg Jazzfestival's history!

Chick Corea (piano), John Patitucci (bass), Dave Weckl (drums), Marius Neset (saxophone)
