When American jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea performed in Shanghai in June, he invited A Bu (pictured below), a 14-year-old Chinese boy, to share the stage. After the concert, A Bu composed a song Meet Mr Chick Corea. His talent so impressed Corea that he invited the teenager to study with him in New York. This weekend, A Bu and his jazz friends, bass player Ma Kai and drummer Shao Haha, will perform a concert featuring Corea's works, such as Calentando Men, Crystal Silence and Spectacle. A Bu studied classical piano from age 4 and started to play jazz at 9. Close your eyes and it is difficult to believe the music is being played by a 14-year-old. The teen remains humble, however, saying: "I'm not prodigy, it takes time to practice. I'm just a young jazz player".
7:30 pm, Nov 10. Forbidden City Concert Hall inside Zhongshan Park, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6551-3348/400-860-0605.
