Was fortunate to see him with Return to Forever living-
room-concert style, sitting on the floor of a suburban
Chicago college gymnasium back in the mid 70s... Will
have to catch up w/what he'd been doing recently... ;(

"Chick Corea, the virtuosic keyboardist who broadened
the scope of jazz during a career spanning more than
five decades, died on Tuesday from a rare form of
cancer. A post on his Facebook page confirmed the
news. Corea was 79.
'Throughout his life and career, Chick relished in the
freedom and the fun to be had in creating something
new, and in playing the games that artists do,' his
family wrote in a statement. 'Through his body of work
and the decades he spent touring the world, he touched
and inspired the lives of millions.'
'Chick Corea was the single greatest improvisational
musician I have ever played with,' John Mayer, who had
appeared with Corea onstage, wrote on Instagram.
'Nobody was more open, more finely tuned to the
moment, changing his approach with every new offering
by the musicians around him. If you hit a wrong note,
he’d immediately pick it up and play it as a motif so
as to say ‘all of this has value, whether you see it
or not.’ What an immeasurable loss in so many ways.'
In the early Sixties, Corea established himself as an
A-list pianist, working with Stan Getz, Herbie Mann,
and others. Later in the decade, he joined Miles
Davis’ band and played a key role in helping the
trumpeter make the transition to a more contemporary,
plugged-in sound on albums like Bitches Brew.
Following his work with Davis, he formed his own
groundbreaking electric band, Return to Forever, which
played some of the most vibrant and dynamic music of
the fusion era. In the ensuing decades, Corea threw
himself into countless projects, showing off his
limitless range — from a refined duo with vibraphonist
Gary Burton to his trendsetting Elektric Band. His
most recent album, the 2020 live solo disc Plays,
showed off his wildly diverse skill set and body of
influences, touching on classical pieces, bebop, and
more."
