Brice Winston & Katherine Byrnes: Return To Forever
($20-$30 tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm shows) Saxophonist/flautist Brice Winston and Katherine Byrnes team up to present the music from Chick Corea’s classic “Return To Forever” band! The night will focus on RTF’s first two albums that featured Brazilian vocalist Flora Purim, 1972’s “Return To Forever” and 1973’s “Light As A Feather.” Coming off of playing the Fender Rhodes piano in Miles Davis’ electric band, Chick Corea went on to create two of the most iconic jazz fusion albums of the 1970s with his Return To Forever Band, blending Brazilain Jazz, Spanish Flamenco and Rock and Roll. The original band featured Flora Purim on vocals, Airto Moreira on drums and percussion, Joe Farrell on saxophone and flute, Stanley Clarke on bass, and of course Chick on the Fender Rhodes electric piano.
For this special show, Winston will play sax and flute with Byrnes tackling Purim’s airy vocals. Joining them are Angelo Versace on Fender Rhodes, Colin McIlrath on electric bass and Arthur Vint on drums.
