Aaron Diehl and John Patitucci

A first-ever evening of duets from two of the most renowned artists in jazz.

Bassist and composer John Patitucci’s longtime work with Chick Corea in his legendary Akoustic and Elektric Bands established him as a premier artist – in a career that has also included collaborations with jazz luminaries Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, McCoy Tyner, and countless others. The influence of Miles, with whom Corea worked in the late 1960s and on the seminal jazz-fusion albums In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and more – and of Miles alum Shorter – ripples through Patitucci’s artistry. Pianist-composer Aaron Diehl is acclaimed for his “melodic precision, harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint” (The New York Times). His work with artists including Wynton Marsalis, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Tyshawn Sorey, Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, and others has established him as one of the most distinctive and important jazz artists of his generation. Hear them together in what promises to be an unforgettable night of music.
