Chick Corea - Piano

[@TimothyGondola]

I couldn't believe my eyes, Chick Corea playing one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs? Thank you for the transcription Michael!

[@mister088]

He’s gone and yet can still bring such beauty and joy to my heart!!!! Brand new to me. Gorgeous.

[@baldy555]

.......beauty and joy and tears....

[@eamonnmorris5331]

One layer of genius (Corea) over another (Wonder). This is liberating ... this is double artistry!

[@JoseTorres-ft4xk]

What a treat. Steve Wonder Chick Corea style. Thank you Chic RIP.

[@JRCOWBOY78]

We miss you maestro 😢🙏🏼💯

[@jackcurley1591]

What a masterful performance. One of the GOATs of jazz, no question

[@sorwell]

We miss him.

[@maramazone]

Yes agreed ❤

[@leanmchungry4735]

Lovely performance, beautifully flowing and uplifting, Chick lives.

[@rogerjamesmusic]

That man was such a treasure.

[@syanhc]

I am truly overjoyed. Wonder and Corea❤

[@silver1788]

Incredible version, incredible transcription

[@FemiOlamide1]

Its the first time I've heard Chick Corea playing a pop ballad. It's played more in his own style, his own interpretation. He doesn't really caress the song like a ballad but it shows his versatility

[@mister088]

I’ll bet Stevie loves this.

[@donmilland7606]

This is a most excellent study because you can compare the MLM transcript to the Hal Leonard songbook chart Chick is reading to analyze his ingenious approach. BTW it took a musical genius to write that song IMO! This song came out around 1979-80 but it still sounds fresh over 40 years later!

[@Marlisonazevedo]

Thank you so much for sharing! This is a really astonishing work!

[@matthewbyronlewismusic9625]

I saw Chick play this in duet with Bela Fleck years ago. Chick shared a story about how he was at dinner with Stevie Wonder and Stevie said "you should play some new standards....ya know....my music".

[@japanesemaplepruning]

I didn't know this existed. thanks for brining it to light and fantastic work!

[@michaellucke2654]

My pleasure!

[@japanesemaplepruning]

@@michaellucke2654 not only are you a legendary transcriber...you also have some amazing taste. Can AI even do what you do? also thanks for putting the chords in

[@JoshHanlonMusic]

a lovely document Michael, great choice

[@UkuleleAversion]

Lol Chick seems happy with the performance 3:46

[@olilane8]

You are a master

[@danpincus9141]

One of the most clearly written precise transcriptions i have seen. Thanks for posting video with accompaning transcription.

[@michaellucke2654]

Thank you! I really spend a lot of time trying to make my transcriptions as clean as possible, so I'm glad you noticed!

[@cdarw]

I LOVE this interpretation! Thanks Maestro ❤

Excellent video. I love DMS. I also own this version of the MacBook Pro. No problems so far but I do use my Cayin RU7

THIS IS L E G E N D A R Y

[@donmilland7606]

OK he's reading the chart from Hal Leonard's Stevie Wonder songbook while playing and improvising! Wow!

[@drleandrocorrea]

Te extraño Chick

[@chukiatsrisakul8559]

❤❤

[@porthose2002]

Michael, do you recall the source for this video? It looks like it might have been filmed in his house. A workshop maybe?

[@raaron4315]

just incredibe. I got to see him play a few times. Miss that man and his homer Simpson ass nose.

[@tedlabowmusic1547]

Bar 20 - 4th 16th - add Bb? between the Ab and the B natural? cheers!

[@michaellucke2654]

Hmmm, I don't hear it, and it would also be physically awkward to play in his right hand. Plus it parallels the chord on beat 1 down a half step. And, by looking at the video, it doesn't look like he's playing it in his left hand either.

[@tedlabowmusic1547]

No worries - I hear a minor second in there, but we all have different ears!

[@michaellucke2654]

@@tedlabowmusic1547 Yeah totally. I definitely hear what you mean, and I am basing some of this decision just on the mechanics of playing it on the piano.

[@donmilland7606]

What is he reading?

[@nezkeys79]

Nice job on the transcription. I never did like this version, tho

[@Mr.S369]

His embellishments, though 'valid', lend an uncalled for 'hipness' that detracts from the rather simple message of the song. IMHO

[@Marunius]

It's OVER joyed not joyed ;D

[@abc456f]

I agree. Over- done. Makes you keep searching for the melody line, it's exhausting listening to this.

[@JJR52]

@@abc456fhe’s literally playing the melody 70-80% of the time. Everything is else is based on the melody. If you need the melody spoon fed to you at all times, with nothing changed harmonically around it, that’s a you problem. I’m unloading here unfairly on you in particular but I’m so fed up of the mentality of I don’t get it/ like it so it’s bad…

[@abc456f]

@JJR52 It's cool. I understand jazz enthusiasts don't consider anything other than jazz to be worthwhile music. The music each of us likes is a totally subjective thing. So I was expressing my opinion. You're entitled to yours. But just because I find this performance "too much", doesn't make me someone who needs to be "spoon fed".

[@JJR52]

@@abc456f I’m a music enthusiast. I love jazz as much as I love simple 4 chord pop, musical theatre, classical music, folk, gospel, indie, rock etc. Things don’t have to be complex to be moving, neither do they have to be simple. I’m not in denial that music is subjective, but that subjectivity is, in part, down to the depth of a listeners ear. Just because YOU can’t hear the melody in the very few sections that it isn’t played, doesn’t mean that this interpretation is less valid/ relevant than a simpler arrangement.

[@marujo777]

It does not add anything relevant to the composition

[@ricks7469]

Just what we need. More relevancy.

[@syanhc]

Can’t comprehend what you say…

[@CBC68]

What is "it"?

[@terri6854]

But it does.

[@chriscorey8125]

I think “it” is a beautiful interpretation and tribute to a beautiful work of art.
