From Jazz Video Guy (Bret Primack), on YouTube, a great tribute to the memory of Chick Corea. This will be the first of many shared. Here is Chick with the Akoustic Band, (Chick on piano, John Pattitucci on double bass, and Dave Weckl on drums), playing Thelonius Monk's composition " 'Round Midnight" at the 1991 Mount Fuji Jazz Festival.
The legendary keyboardist who was a monster in the fusion realm and was a force of nature in all things jazz and improvisation died on February 9th at age 79 from cancer. Through his “Elektric”, fusion, trio, and combo albums Corea was extremely prolific. An electric keyboard pioneer alongside his acoustic piano accomplishments, Corea appeared on multiple Davis albums, including Black Beauty: Live at the Fillmore West and Miles Davis at Fillmore: Live at the Fillmore East. Corea most recently covered the works of Domenico Scarlatti, Bill Evans, Frédéric Chopin, and Thelonious Monk on 2020’s Plays.
