This month, award-winning jazz pianist, Chick Corea will be performing in various venues across China as part of the landmass-spanning tour that will later see the much-admired musician coming to Europe.

Chick Corea was a key artist in the creation of the electric fusion movement in the 60s and has since grown to become one of the most influential jazz pianists alive today. Throughout his career, he has been nominated for over 40 Grammy awards and has won 12 and this tour represents his first stage appearance in China. It also might interest some of you to know that he is a scientologist.

For fans of ‘The Chick’ (as the artist is not popularly known), Sky Arts are giving you a chance to see him perform in A Very Special Concert tonight at 11pm. This one-off concert saw Chick joined by other legendary musicians such as Stanley Clarke and Lenny White performing some popular classics.
