Georgia Tech’s Ferst Center Presents series welcomes Chick Corea and Gary Burton with the Harlem String Quartet at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26. Audience members are invited to "Jazz Connect," a free pre-show jazz talk led by Jay Edwards, host of WCLK 91.9-FM’s "Jazz Tones" at 7 p.m. Corea is one of the most prolific composers of the second half of the 20th century. Since beginning a solo career in 1966 with his critically acclaimed debut, "Tones for Joan’s Bones," Corea has been at the forefront of jazz, both as a pianist forging new ground with his acoustic jazz bands and as an electric keyboardist experimenting with the sound of fusion with his groups Return to Forever and the Chick Corea Elektric Band.
