About Lyric Suite for Sextet(chamber)
Now at Dizzy’s Club in New York City, Chick Corea’s *Lyric Suite for Sextet* is heard in a chamber-jazz setting led by vibraphonist Warren Wolf alongside pianist-composer Alex Brown and a string contingent. The score treats jazz rhythm and improvisation as structural material, not decoration, placing them in close dialogue with written lines. Brown’s writing draws on classical practice and contemporary Black and Afro-diasporic idioms, while Wolf brings the discipline of a conservatory educator and working multi-instrumentalist. Heard in NYC, the piece reads as a reminder of Corea’s long-standing role in bridging club culture and concert form.
