Just read a news blurb that Chick Corea passed away from cancer a couple of days ago at 79. Just made public today.

 This is very sad. Chick was one of my favorite jazz composers. Little known facts : Chick's dad was a jazz (dixieland) trumpet player and Chick also dabbled in playing the trumpet. |

Chick plays in the trumpet section of Chuck Mangione's Tarantella album. He played drums on Confirmation on his Three Quartets album. A sheer force of music who made the world a better place everywhere he went. Rest In Peace. |

We heard the news this evening. My four favorite albums:
- Light As A Feather
- Now He Sings, Now He Sobs
- The Thing To Do (Blue Mitchell!!)
- Innerspace (Woody Shaw!!)
The lady and I are listening to these records this evening and remembering one of the great masters. Cheers, folks.

Yeah, I was going to mention that Chuck Mangione big band album he did. A lot of special guests on that one. Steve Gadd on drums. Nice.
Curious about Chick's trumpet playing. Anyone have any pics or video of him playing the trumpet ? That would be awesome. |

| 40 or so years ago Chick, Dizzy and a few others were guests on either Dinah Shore or Mike Douglas's talk show. Someone mentioned that Chick also played trumpet. Diz handed him his horn and Chick blew a couple of be bop lines. As I recall he sounded pretty damn good. |

Unbelievable. I was just watching his Youtube channel the other week; I think he was still putting out new content. Practicing classical music, tinkering on the drums, stuff like that.

I just heard today - MAJOR MAJOR loss! He's always been one of my faves. His playing on 'Light as a Feather' is a textbook on jazz piano comping. If anybody wants to know how to comp - listen to that record.
He will be sorely missed....
