This live 3-CD and Blu-ray set captures Corea's 70th birthday celebration at the famed Blue Note Jazz Club in 2011, where he assembled a staggering lineup of musical friends and fellow-travelers among them Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, John McLaughlin and Stanley Clarke for a month-long residency featuring 10 different bands, including triumphal sets by his own Chick Corea Elektric Band and Return to Forever. All of it is captured brilliantly in the first feature-length documentary on Corea's life, music and genius musical partners. The film takes you inside the heads and hangs of some of the greatest artists of our time backstage and personal and the CDs capture almost four hours of live recordings of every band.

The deluxe hardcover edition includes the film on Blu-ray, in addition to the 3 CDs, an essay by Robin D. G. Kelley and exclusive photos.

The CDs capture the music with Corea's characteristic thrilling live sound, and the documentary goes even further: with total access to Chick's creative process, the film features live footage, but also rehearsals, backstage hangs and candid interviews with the musicians. Everything that goes into making music at this level, the hours of practice, rehearsals, gear moving in and out is in full view.

The Musician is one of the great portraits of a true genius in his prime, at work. In every musical setting, Corea's long history of creative adventurism made for the ultimate present-tense music. The title of the set followed naturally.

"That's what the story's about. It's about musicians, being musicians. When people ask me, 'What did you learn from Miles?', that's the salient thing that I took from my experience. Miles just let his musicians be themselves. He let them be musicians."
