Jazz keyboard player and pianist Chick Corea passed away on February 9th of a rare form of cancer. He was 79.
Outside of Herbie Hancock, Corea is probably the most significant jazz pianist of the past 50 years. He had a profound influence on Miles Davis' landmark albums In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew and would explore jazz fusion leading bands like Circle, Return to Forever and later the Chick Corea Elektric Band.
I leave you with Corea showing us how he put together one of his best known compositions "Spain". R.I.P.
