Man, I loved listening to Chick in college. It was like a discovery and gateway into jazz for me.
RIP Chick Corea.
Here he is from 5 years ago in one of the NPR Tiny Desk Concerts with Gary Burton

Chick with Paco


Chick with Al Dimeola


Chick with Stanley Clarke - nice acoustic duet with Stanley on a stand up bass


So much more great music.
He is one of my favorite Saturday/Sunday Jazz musicians ever and he was so chill.

RIP again Chick Corea.

Man, that's a time capsule right there. Are infomercials still a thing? I would suspect Amazon took over the cheap useless appliance market.

RIP again Chick Corea.

I have a DVD (yes, I'm old), of Chick Corea with Bobby McFerren, that i treasure. I played classical piano for 11 years, and to my ear, Chick Corea was one of the best I've ever heard.

He said about piano one of the best quotes I've ever heard-- he was asked by a kid, "How do I know when I'm getting good?" Chick replied, "when you are less concerned about your fingering, and more concerned about tone, you're good."

I loved that man, and will miss him forever.

I'd rep you Vanster but it says I must spread the love.
I'm listening to the NPR vid of Chick and Gary Burton and it is perfect for the day.
It makes me wonder if we are ever going to see musicians like those two or hear organic music like that again.
