Still devastated by the fact that he's no longer with us. Rest well, maestro. your legacy remains forever.

[@duanegoin5512]

Chris I 100% Agree. Our Great 👍😃 Legend.

[@FrankDag]

Doing a Chick "deep dive" today and taking in as much of his words and music as I can find.

[@jimbarris5460]

Hey man, idd you find much footage of him describing his musical philosophy by any chance?

[@burningwatermusic]

Next to the Beatles, this man's music influenced me from the time I was 13, to the time of his passing!

[@MRMOTOFOTO]

I've never listened to much Chick...more into straight ahead....but what a musician and down to earth guy.

[@jimmorrison5604]

Dom, this interview is brilliant, so sad that this beautiful soul is no longer with us. Absolutely loved “build the reservoir of confidence”. Thank you for putting me on to this channel.

[@miguelees]

Are you guys aware that Chick is 77 years old ? He is so lucid ! He is definitely a special one. So much history and wisdom. So great thanks

[@achillesjones70]

oh my God, you are right.

[@mrtyreus0]

He's not the only one, Herbie, Roy Haynes, hell even Paul McCartney. Gotta stay on top of the game and yourself.

[@KOSTISPAL]

WHATTTT

[@athruzathruz]

Lucid? What are you talking about man? Rubenstein played into his 90's and so did Horowitz, it's the instrument, it's not a trumpet or a tuba, anyway l get your point.

[@roscoegarbonzo9966]

Age is a matter of mind! If you don't mind, it doesn't matter

[@diegus012]

This was only 2 years ago....my heart is absolutely broken. He had so much left in him. So glad I got to see him live at the catalina in LA with the elektric band a couple years ago. RIP Chick!

[@milanmiladinovic2997]

Chicks music heals your soul, literally!

[@johnhunterdrummer249]

So tragic listening to all his future plans and knowing that he still had so much more to give to the music world. What an inspiration!

[@dangulino5392]

I know

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Both of these guys brought happiness and enthusiasm to their art and will always be remebered what they brought to music. Such as this great interview!

[@barrydee587]

Dom is so cool! He brought a side of Chick Corea to me I never knew. He also didn't fawn all over him because he is who he is. Well done.

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

The Dude: Hard to believe Dom is really as good as he is. He’s so self effacing.. He’s a top notch talent in his own right

I Love Chick's Music. His Tracks The Dragon and TBC we're my Hits. I relax to the Beautiful Melody Of "The Dragon" I think of cool blue 💙 waters with a breeze. And Chick's T.B.C.

What a great interview and a very wise man is Chick Corea. A true master of his craft.

[@jonathanharrington7950]

Been a huge fan of Chick's from the start of the Electric & Acoustic Outfits. Also love the late great Lyle May's along with Valeriy Stepanov. Great interview Dom. R.I.P. Lyle Mays.

[@richdefazio2497]

Yes, Chick has healed me.

[@xxGriff]

Spot on about the student choosing their teacher. my 1st theory/composition class was a disaster (for me). dominating instructors who instead of mentoring and sharing wisdom/knowledge, demand that/art music be created, performed and approached "their/this way" only. luckily i had another teacher who shared, talked and showed, shared. if not for my guitar instructor I would have quit studying and missed some important lessons. curious that at this point in my life i had been given Bitches Brew by the guitar teacher i noted. he handed me his vinyl of the LP and said "Just listen. listen to every note AND the spaces between." that was 1985. still play and love playing, listening and sharing music. these sessions are an incredible wealth of info and wisdom. thanks Dom et al !

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Glad you stayed with playing music! Appreciate your support..Thanks for listening & sharing our videos!

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Great interviewer and interviewee! Many thanks.

[@ida2382]

kind of moment when i really appreciate the internet. im so grateful for this, especially now. rest in peace master

[@paxwallacejazz]

My band director in Jr. High who was also a working Jazz pianist and trombonist had a bunch of us over to his hip A-frame and made about 12 of us listen to Light as a Feather. Musicians universally loved that LP.

[@NeilRaouf]

Corea, Metheny, Brecker, Scofield, Hancock, DeJohnette, Holland...This generation is so damn tops!

[@Bahimo3154]

Just Imagine how cool it is that Chick is your grand father !

[@jimflys2]

Dom is a real great personality. He is so engaged, curious, encouraging and edifying to his subjects. I first heard about him in Modern Drummer in like 1980 or so. I would love to sit down with him and just talk. Dom is a real gem and a fine drummer.

Wow Dom I went to high school with your eldest son, my name's Taylor and I just stumbled upon this amazing channel. I remember you coming in to talk to us when we were in school at some point, such a great channel, didn't know you loved jazz. Very thankful for this resource I'm going to be watching many many of these, Steve Vai video is to be watched after this :) It's awesome hearing about the history of music and what it was like to be there

[@fibboobbif]

What Chick meant with spot lighting musicians on stage and darkness in the audience i could see at the San Javier Jazz days 2018, where he asked the light mixer to change his lighting in the beginning of the acoustic band concert. And it still worked for the video crew... Less is sometimes better.

[@drumnoteProductions]

The master !

[@TheFiremancarl]

I’ve seen Chick live many times he never disappoints,a living legend that maintains his Jazz core principles

[@TheEleatic]

Chick is a giant. He is comparable to Ellington.

[@TheBonerBoyzGotWood]

Chicks impact is bigger than Ellington. He’s that important; his influence is that massive. His stature will grow now that he’s gone.

[@roscoegarbonzo9966]

Every few Generations comes a Soul who's Perceptions & Achievements are like Mutations in Evolution, One could rattle off a few names that have come before Sir Chick, Art Tatum , Vladimir Horowitz, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans Etc, But you would be hard pressed to name one since, Ole Yoda still laying down the groove
