We Play

Two musicians - a brilliant duo. When Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea are on stage together, extraordinary things happen: "I don't agree with anyone else musically as much as I do with Chick", says Bobby McFerrin, "like two beings cast in the same mould, almost scary already". Chick Corea agrees: "We play with surprises all the time". In jazz and in classical, in rehearsals and in concert, in conversations, this bond becomes tangible, the intense communication, the joy of playing. "We Play" is how Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea succinctly describe their collaboration. The film shows artists in their versatility who embody the successful crossover: Bobby McFerrin as a singer and conductor, Chick Corea as pianist and composer, with the Chick Corea New Trio and the Verbier Youth Orchestra. On the programme: works by Leonard Bernstein, Mozart, Rossini - and Chick Corea's "Spain" for orchestra. For McFerrin and Corea, there is no difference between serious and popular music - "All music is serious."
