Love live the music of Chick Corea. He awakened something in me 33 years ago when I first heard his music and I'm still chasing that passion. His SHINE will always lift me up. Thank you, maestro!

I heard him and Michael Brecker at the Blue Note on New Year's Eve 1988, an unforgettable experience. RIP Mr. Corea - you have enriched our lives enormously.

Really great mini documentary on Chick. Truly will be remembered as a legend and the greatest innovator to music.

I think we called his music progressive rock and it was great to have on as we were doing group art.

[@timothybonenfant5448]

He never lost his “Bah-stin” accent! Love it!

[@digitalbookworm5678]

I saw the Elektric Band in '91 at the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle Theater. What an unforgettable show. At one time I owned about 12 LPs ranging from the early Return to Forever to his duets with Herbie Hancock and his Tribute to Art Tatum (who was from Toledo). His Solo Piano Improvisation Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were recorded at L. Ron Hubbard's compound in California, so the album jackets even had photos of Hubbard on them. He was an innovative force in every genre of music and will be sadly missed. 🙁

[@timothybonenfant5448]

I think your referring to the albums known as “Delphi”, which was in 3 volumes. The original Solo Improvisations albums were recorded in Europe in the early 70s on ECM. Manfred Eicher would have wanted control over the production, I’m sure.

LOL. Buddha was ridiculed, Christ was accused of the same and killed by the group, Socrates was poisoned by the group as well. Nice to know that "group think" people like you are still around. What a joke you are. Poor soul.

Until a moment ago, I had no idea he was a Hubbard Blubbard...These folks are loonies. I recall seeing things about them putting folks in dumpsters in LA in the 80's- It was a Beta cassette that my brother and I thought was airshow footage, but turned out to be investigative evidence in Scientology murders.
