Sad, not an authority on his music I admit but he played on my favourite Miles Davis records so, yeah, sad. RIP.

saw Chick Corea in Springfield Mass, 1983 I believe...great show, Hot Tuna and Bobby and the Midnights too. Awesome show until the city cut the power right at 11pm, mid song by Bobby and the Midnights
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

By all accounts a very kind and generous spirit, his music knew no bounds. His love for L. Ron Hubbard put me off him for a while, but I always enjoyed his music, and if Scientology somehow gave him security and inspiration, who am I to judge? I actually DIDN'T get to see him in the early 90s in Stuttgart, his concert was cancelled due to his membership in said organization. Pfft.
Rest in peace, Chick. Gonna put on Akoustic Band tonight, awesome version of Spain, probably my favorite.

Been collecting and listening to most of his creations since high school. (45 years?) The depth of how he changed my musical perceptions is immeasurable. Being that they're predominately east coast musicians, I thought I'd never get to see them, but a few years back, we got to see the Electrik Band at a small super club. Fantastic show, and as he came through the crowd, my spouse touched his elbow. Which he reacted to in an almost paranoid way. Something we regularly see with Scientologists these days. (We live within a close radius of the Hemet compound.) Can't really blame either one for the account but it is a memory now.
Thought that would be it and was glad to mark my bucket list with the experience. But about a year or two later, another "bucket list" performance of The Flecktones came up and the Electrik Band was on the ticket too. We consider it an experience of a lifetime.
There was a period in my 50 year love affair of Fusion that it not only fell out of favor with society, but was actually condemned by our local audiences. Some of these people still exist and most often reveal themselves by their hatred of the electric piano. {And if you know the history of when Miles recruited him out of Juliard, then you'll get the irony.} For the most part, I just keep it to myself, but this really makes me want to post tribute to him.
Like I said, his influence (sans LRH), has been immeasurable to me.

Dang, one of the true greats of the last 50 years, a participant and catalyst in so many developments in jazz and beyond. I was super-lucky to see Chick's trio with Brian Blade & Christian McBride a few years ago. That said, of all the jazz keyboard greats, IMO his synth sounds were always the cheesiest (especially compared to Joe Zawinul & Herbie Hancock), no matter the gear, group or era.
