August 2000, Jazztimes Magazine asks Chick Corea: "Who do you think is the best pianist in the world?" Corea answers:" Maybe most of you don't know him, but he is a Turkish guy: Aydin Esen." This journey starts with jazz standards, and takes you to places you've never been to with the variations. Not only by the jazz lovers but this concert has to be seen by the ones attracted to experimental and electronic tones and new kinds of music. We are going to listen to this trio at Northshields, Bilkent Hotel.
