Chick Corea & Gary Husband - "Lockdown Throwdown"

“I am pleased to officially launch here the full-length version of “Lockdown Throwdown” - the piece dear Chick Corea and myself co-created during lockdown 2020. We had intended to launch this piece together earlier this month and had hoped to collaborate on further projects in the months to come, thanks to all the fun that we’d derived from the process and out of our mutual passion for musical spontaneity. Sadly this was not to be. But this little standalone musical meeting between us will remain in my heart as an enduring tribute to a very dear friend, a legendary inspiration to me and to so many others, and to his boundless, beautiful and relentless love and pursuit of the sound of surprise.”
Gary - February 2021
