To commemorate the 40-year anniversary, the duo has released\u00a0<i>Hot House<\/i>. The set consists of repertoire taken from some of their favorite composers and includes new arrangements of such favorites as \u201cEleanor Rigby\u201d \u201cStrange Meadowlark,\u201d \u201cTime Remembered,\u201d and \u201cLight Blue.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>Although Chick Corea and Gary Burton are a duo who don\u2019t offer a\u00a0<i>huge<\/i>\u00a0portfolio of collaborations, they certainly make the most of what they have released. Witness\u00a0<i>Crystal Silence<\/i>, which since its introduction in 1972, has begotten a succession of ever-more-dazzling collaborations, including\u00a0<i>Lyric Suite For Sextet<\/i>,\u00a0<i>Chick Corea and Gary Burton: Live In Munich<\/i>, among others, and now, missing no opportunity for a new set of duet music, Corea and Burton\u2019s\u00a0<i>Hot House<\/i>\u00a0reveals two masters at work who after 40 years are as excited as ever about the music they\u2019re playing and are genuinely enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n<div>Corea and Burton employ their trusty acoustic instruments \u2013 piano and vibraphone \u2013 and which are more than sufficient to deliver a great sound that avoids sensory overload. With their prodigious power they deliver songs written by such great pianists as Monk, Evans, Tatum, Dameron, Weill and McCartney, dressed in new clothing that will surely impress the most sophisticated listeners. One new composition by Chick Corea titled \u201cMozart Goes Dancing,\u201d concludes the program.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Apart from the obvious,\u00a0<i>Hot House<\/i>\u00a0differs from their previous collaborations due to the decades (1940s to 1960s) from which the songs emanated and the fact that not many of these songs are well-known. All of the songs sport new Corea-Burton arrangements and classic tweaks that make these songs accessible to a new generation.
