Kirill Gerstein won the Gilmore Artist Award, one of the most prestigious honors available to a classical pianist, in 2010. With his prize money, he commissioned new works from a small array of noted composers — including the jazz legend Chick Corea.
"The Visitors" is the 12-minute piece that Corea wrote specifically for Gerstein and a mutual friend, the vibraphonist Gary Burton. It builds on a legacy of eloquent vibes-and-piano dialogue that began with the groundbreaking 1972 Corea-Burton ECM Records album Crystal Silence, and continued until Burton’s retirement from performing in 2017.
It also honors the formative role that Burton played in Gerstein’s career, going back to the pianist’s youth in St. Petersburg, Russia. I recently talked with Gerstein and Burton to reflect on their history, how it unfolds in the piece, and how this recording — which captures one of only two performances of the piece, at the 2012 Gilmore International Piano Festival — honors the memory of Corea, who died in 2021. -- NATE CHINEN
