Concerts from the Library of Congress introduces #ThrowbackThursday as together we revive, experience and discuss past performances in the Coolidge Auditorium. Starting on Thursday, July 22, 2021, and for the following two Thursdays at noon, we will stream a past concert and host a live “lobby” experience with the artist. Whether you attended these concerts live or missed them, this is a unique opportunity to watch the concerts, meet the artists, ask questions, and join in a collective reflection on the past. Spoiler alert! On Thursday, August 5, we will pay tribute to the late 25 GRAMMY-Award winner and jazz legend, Armando “Chick” Corea with a never-before-released video of his 2005 concert at the Library of Congress.
How to participate?
It is easy! The Zoom “lobby” experience link is available below. The concert will premiere on Facebook and YouTube.

Tribute to Chick Corea: CHICK COREA'S TOUCHSTONE QUINTET
Never-before-released video: 2005 Chick Corea’s Touchstone Quintet performance at the Library of Congress. With the core members of Paco de Lucia's band--Carles Benavent, Tom Brechtlein, Jorge Pardo, and Rubem Dantas--the 25-time GRAMMY Award winner revisits the heart of his Spanish-influenced compositions from his classic Touchstone album continuing his flamenco-based explorations with a new set of music for this innovative quintet.
The Zoom conversation will be hosted by radio host and jazz journalist, Larry Appelbaum.
