Chick Corea & Origin: 1999-2000 Millennium Concert Poster (Miyazaki, Japan)

Made for one night. Never reprinted. On Sunday, December 5, 1999, Chick Corea & Origin played the Miyazaki Civic Cultural Hall in southern Japan, billed as the "1999–2000 Millennium Concert." This poster was made for that show and nothing else. It was printed for one night in one city, and it will never be produced again.

We have 14 copies of the original 1999 printing. This is the first time we've offered them, and when they're gone, there won't be more.

At its center, the sextet sits inside a great circular frame, riding on swirling clouds: Chick up front with Avishai Cohen, Steve Wilson, Tim Garland, Steve Davis and Jeff Ballard. All around them, celestial figures, a dragon and the animals of the zodiac wind through mountains, rivers and blossoms. You'll find something new every time you look.

Look for the rabbit and the dragon. 1999 was the Year of the Rabbit and 2000 the Year of the Dragon — a fitting pair for a poster that sat right on the turn of the millennium.

The lineup is a snapshot of Origin's later days. Tim Garland had joined the band that year, after pianist Billy Childs passed Chick a copy of his album Enter the Fire. He'd go on to play alongside Chick for years, all the way to The Vigil.
