New York — Chick Corea took the unusual step of releasing four major recordings last year covering a wide gamut of music – everything from solo piano improvisations to a concerto for jazz quintet and chamber orchestra.
Now, the 71-year-old jazz pianist and composer is in the unusual position of competing against himself in two categories at the Feb. 10 awards show in Los Angeles.
"People in the music business say don't make too many records because they'll compete against one another," Corea said in a phone interview. "Well, it's exactly what's happening, but I'm very happy about it because what I love to do is making a lot of music."
His album "Hot House," the latest chapter in his 40-year partnership with vibraphonist Gary Burton, has three nominations – best jazz instrumental album, improvised jazz solo for the title track and instrumental composition for "Mozart Goes Dancing."

Dheepa Chari: Some New Fashion (Dheepa Chari)
A young New York singer releasing her first full-length (after an Ep I haven't heard), Chari is part of the new breed of jazzers who are looking beyond standards for their repertoire. Not that other jazzers haven't already covered the Beatles (she sings "Here, There, and Everywhere") or Billy Joel (in my youth I heard Count Basie play "Just the Way You Are," which not only closes this album but also gives it its title), but I bet she's the first to take on Depeche Mode's "World in My Eyes" and Linkin Park's "Shadow of the Day." The funny thing is, as much as I was ready to look down my nose on the latter choice, it works beautifully, thanks not only to her vocal delivery but to Vikas Hebbar's lovely arrangement, which features violin and muted trumpet.

Vijay Iyer Sextet at Castle Clinton, June 23, 2011
A free concert will draw not just the people who know they like the artist, but also the curious, some of whom may be utterly unprepared for what they are about to experience. This show brought to us by the River to River Festival gave folks a chance to hear one of the most praised young jazz pianists, but apparently not all of them were ready for his complex and challenging music. The personnel this night were bassist Stephan Crump, drummer Marcus Gilmore, tenor saxophonist Mark Shim, longtime Iyer collaborator Rudresh Mahanthappa, and guest Graham Haynes, the elder of the band, on cornet (Haynes is Gilmore's uncle).
