Chick Corea 75th Birthday Celebration at the Bluenote (Got a Match)

[@funklover24]

RIP Chick Corea. One of the greatest has passed away. We miss you dearly. ❤

[@earthshinemusic-songwritin3562]

It´s crazy just how much Weckl has improved since the first Electric Band record. Truly one of the finest drummers on the planet.

[@teammedeljazz3079]

Steve Gadd is still my favorite by far with this band!

[@asxzyk]

Yeah, but he is late on the transition, and the band is pissed

[@hjaltiagustsson7905]

*Honorable mention of Gary Novak*

[@stevedrums1675]

I wasn't a fan of his until he got into Latin maybe mid '90's and then his feel and technique just seemed to go to another level. At least that's what I thought.

[@nycboyforlife]

I absolutely agree. Like a fine wine that improves with age. One of the greatest drummers ever. My personal favorite is Jack DeJohnette.

[@slick51]

OMG. Frank's playing always slays me, but his tone here is MASSIVE...like Godzilla on a tear. I LOVE it.

[@bluesful]

Damn good tone.

[@OrangePony75]

I may be wrong, but here recalls me more of his Ibanez S, early Elektric Band sound. His later *recorded* sound seems a lot different to me.

[@jacolon61]

The All time Dream Team! Chick, Eric, Dave, John, & Frank. The Electric Band. There will never be another. RIP Chick. You gave us so much. Thank you!

[@demiTones]

I agree truly amazing line up

[@fabiobarreiro]

The best combination of 5 musicians! Their chemistry is perfect

[@buddabirne4661]

Now that you're gone I keep in cryin' ...

[@psychlos21]

This is genius playing by some of the greatest musicians on the planet. Chick Corea will be sorely missed. What a mark he left on the world of music.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Have you checked out Hiromi and the Trio Project?

[@jupoga96]

Patituci's impro here is completely out of this world

[@RashonAlexander]

Juanjo Poveda Yessir bro

It was spectacular!

[@waynemiller6070]

Yeah! around 9:35 Frank Gambale shows some mild amazement. then a few seconds later he and Chick look at each other as if to say that John is on fire.

[@errollharper2061]

Tell me about it. And not even breaking a sweat!

[@jcisme]

His is one of the most melodic bassists I listen too. His soloing isn't cliched like so many of us bassists. A true master.

[@alb2507]

A true genius and he will be missed very much. For those who gave thumbs down, they are either stupid or have no knowledge about one of the greatest musicians of all times. RIP Mr Chick Corea

[@ChromaticHarp]

I still can’t believe Chick has left us. There will never be another Genius Like HIM!

[@markn.7623]

RIP Chick Corea, you will be missed. Thank you so much for your fantastic music!

[@santiamato4005]

Being in 2024 and feeling the loss of Chick as if he passed away just yesterday.... We all miss you Chick!

[@officialMainspring]

Dave is such a beast... he was always good but now he burns so hard with total, utter, control... true master of his instrument. mind blown.

[@mathhhias42]

he fucking went crazy here! totally nuts drumming

[@PlanetRockJesus]

This is one of the most fantastic live performances I've ever seen. They are all amazing, led by Chick. I saw him live in about 1976, because some friends took me to see him at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. I remember it being good, but I wasn't into jazz much at the time. Throughout the passing decades I've come to see how jazz is the music that's at the cutting edge, and this stuff just slaughters me now.

[@TunaLoopBackingTracks]

RIP Chick Corea! So many of us have been blessed by his music :)

[@jazzyeric21]

I've probably heard these guy play this song 100 times and many of those times live and it never gets old. The mastery just keeps growing. This is the signature piece of the Chick Corea Elektric band band and few even try to play this tune. It's a masterpiece that belongs solely to these five brilliant musicians.

[@davemara1898]

I love, that he incorporated the audience like this in the beginning, showing them, that they are a part of the music and have it in them, and that they're not just bystanders! Thank you Chick! That's one of the reasons you will be so sorely missed!

[@joelioes]

Found Corea when I was 16yrs old and fell in love with his music.. Moved to NYC in 2000 from Indonesia to pursue my career and got to see This Whole band live at Blue Note in East Village like around 12 years ago?? And I got 1 box ticked off of my Life-List.. 👍👍 Thanks Chick

[@blakeh6250]

Same at 16 but in 1973, saw RTF with chick in 1981 concert

[@sobellfanatic]

Gambale still brings it large every time.

[@3dounounba]

I hear that Gambale is Chick's favorite guitar player.

[@axeman2638]

Isn't he just tearing it up on this? You can see the respect the others show him, for mine he owns the stage.

[@kurtwestphal]

jesus.... gambale.. is so clean the sweeps so rich and varied... mazing

[@fusionfan6883]

For sure, his playing has matured like a fine wine!

[@martinlehfeldt6916]

He's the greatest. Takes it to another level.

[@drumsNstuff79]

When I'm 75 I wanna play like that! Incredible! And Weckl! Must. Practice. Now! lol...

[@DlmlZ]

It is insane how many years of musical experience you can find here on stage. These guys were already insane when I first listened to them in the 80ies and now after so many years it is an explosion of excellent composed music. None of these guys has to prove anything anymore in terms of technical aspects, they are already masters for ages but way more musical and groovy than they used to be in the early years. What pleasure to listen to these extraordinary musicians. Thanks a lot for sharing this nice memory of Chick and his Electric-Band. May god bless him and his fellows, may he RIP.

[@errollharper2061]

How great it is to listen to seasoned Jazz musicians. They always go on like it's all no great deal! I remember most of these guys absolutely thrilling me in the 80s. Wish them, with me the absolute best.

[@AnimaTai]

Such an honor to have seen this performance live. May you rest in peace forever to have left your mark as the GOAT.

[@benjaminpartain9699]

Chick added and still adds so much joy to the world thanks to his immense music contributions, his brilliance lives on thanks to videos like this

[@jfredknobloch]

We lost one of the best this morning

[@mateuschwarz]

RIP :(

[@the1realanalogman]

Everything you need and beyond! My son took me to see them in Detroit on 8/12/17. They opened with Charged Particles (one of our all-time favs) and we were sucked right into a worm hole! Gargantuan collaboration that just keeps evolving! What a birthday gift!

El genio de Corea acompañado de unos monstruos de la música. Te vamos a extrañar mucho Chick Corea. Gracias totales! Ahora descansa en paz.

[@blackberrywhite7581]

Chick is doing something right that’s for sure! Amazing saw him Live at the Royal Albert Hall London late 90’s and wondered how long he could keep going for. Never thought I would be typing this on KZbin 20 years later raving! The whole Band are legendary, Chick really seems to Care for everyone he ever plays with or alongside this is an exceptional human quality. Truly inspired...

[@user-jx3jp3gb4x]

brings me to tears.... such perfection from everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FusionHowie]

Im in complete shock! They are better than when I saw this in the 80s!!! Holy shit this is a treasure !!!!

[@philipschrantz8402]

Mr. Pattitucci is masterful here. As impressive as his solo work is, his walking lines always groove and the little subtleties he throws in are like the perfect seasoning in a great meal.

[@72superlead]

That's not actually Pattitucci

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Only Frank gambale can be surrounded by 4 of the 10 best jazz and sessions in the world and have them losing their minds like young children when he solos. He’s literally surrounded by genius talent and still steals the show in such a humble way. I also love how chick likes pranking the soloists with dissonant sub chords just to see if they go with and laughs while doing it. Only the fun bandleaders do that. The musicians know.✊🏾

[@dinkogrgat5188]

Over-exaggerated praise to Frank Gambale.I really can't stand his annoying sweep-picking (read fake-picking).Go and find on youtube 24-years old Matteo Mancuso and discover a real threat to Frank.Matteo plays with such a brilliiant technique and in a way that Frank could only dream about.Even worse Frank would come out on an acoustic guitar in collision with greek maestro Michael Paouris.Matteo and Michael are the future of guitar.Anyway,Frank isn't capable of playing guitar on a level of good old Joe Pass.

I'm so lucky to live in the Chick Corea Musical Universe. I love GOT A MATCH since 1985 in my vinyl disc. So..To watch that fantastic perfomance after 30 years is more that I could even dream. Amazing musicians and inspirations for my life. Chick Corea? What can I say? Unreachable artist....Unforgettable master. Unique. Thank you for EVERYTHING.

KZbin is definitely a funny place. This is jazz icon Chick Corea celebrating 75 years - and at least 50 years as being one of the most talented jazz pianists in history, with an amazing career, always creating, always recording, touring the globe so many times. And yet you see 58 dislikes. I mean, opinions are opinions, but this is beyond personal opinions. This is a celebration of art, talent and life.

[@Ojb_1959]

I got to see The Electric Band play at Tipitinas in New Orleans June 11, 1987. There chemistry is still there. My dad , sister & I got to talk with Chick outside the side door on the sidewalk during a break while he ate a banana. Easy going guy🎹

[@drumteacher43]

Killer lineup here! Weckl and Pattatucci are killing it! Rip to a true great, Chick

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

It goes double time into Gambale's solo [11:48] and he comes out guns blazing with straight up, in your face, killer bebop, Chick gives him a reassuring "have fun" (or "go Frank"/"go for it") [12:00], Gambale seems to relax and the mood instantly lifts. Not that the prior lines were any less amazing, just a super interesting and cool transition.

Chick Corea is obviously a master musician, but what he really excels at is assembling a group of master musicians around him! Holy shit are Pattituci and Gambale killing it big time. And then there's Dave Weckl. Level of awesome above 9000.

I was there! Fun to experience the same band in concert after 25 years since my first concert with them. The first one blew my mind away. This sing-along felt a bit like the ones they in nursing homes for older folk😹Dave’s yawn at 1:35 says it all🙀 Don’t get me wrong, these are still some of my musical heroes and they would play better in their sleep than a great majority of musicians fully awake. but they, along with the rest of us, get older. I’m still impressed with Chick’s tenacity at 75 years of age. To perform 4 weeks straight, six nights a week, two sets a night is an impressive feat at any age but especially at 75 . 👏🏻 👏🏻 hope to be there for 80th!!
