I have to admit, I've been largely paralyzed since Chick's death. I mean, I've kept my head up -- I've been motivated, inspired, and done a ton of practicing, composing, listening; but I haven't been able to shake this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. You guys are all personal heroes to me, and this tribute filled me up. I don't know how to thank you. I can't wait to hear the release of the live material, and I sincerely hope to see you all together again soon! Okay, I'm done. Time to make some music!
Dude...you're an inspiration to musicians all by yourself...if there's anything good about youtube, it's fellas like you. Let's just keep drawing inspiration from Chick and the rest of the greats and get on with getting on...
Thank you, Dave, John, Frank and Eric, for doing this. You guys are awesome! Chick Corea's Electrics Band was an incredible moment in music history, you could say. All the records have that magical, almost Mozartian touch, which is part of his style, his signature. But in my opinion, the first Album and "Inside out" are the strongest albums of this period of Chick. Now, talking about Scott Henderson. Scott is an incredible guitarist, with a deep and unrepeatable style. And, with all that is said, the concept that Scott brought to the first Electric band, was never repeated again. His very peculiar improvisations make him for me a kind of Thelonious Monk of the electric guitar. I do not believe, with all due respect, that Frank Gambale, who is a great virtuoso, has brought the same conceptual and musical depth to the chick band as Scott Henderson. For example, one of the great, magical, and unforgettable compositions of the first album is the track "Cool Weasel Boogie", a serialist and minimalist work that continuously repeats the same theme in a crescendo mode.Well, Scott's work on that track is fabulous, an outpouring of good taste and incomparable conceptualism. I never heard that magic again in the work of Chick, whom I consider one of my idols. If you have any doubts about what I'm talking about, listen to the discographies of both guitarists and compare them. Scott Henderson's compositions are timeless. Frank Gambale's music, although I repeat, he is an incredible virtuoso, is pure rhetoric. Dave and Chick's duet on Tale Of Daring (Inside Out) in an absolutely incredible moment on that record. But another moment of great ESP of improvisation between a drummer and a pianist can be heard in the song "Eshun Agwe" by Gonzalo Rubalcaba from the album "Antiguo".
these extraordinary but humble guys made the soundtracks of my life for 30 years. I will never forget this privilege to be able to enjoy jazz music. it’s one of the most beautiful presents to see them together talking about their history. I will continue to enjoy their art as long as live. Looking forward to listening their last album with The Maestro.
Same. Chicks loss was huge and I am so sad I will never be able to see Elektric Band. One of my bucket list resolutions since Covid hit last March was to go and see them if they ever got close enough to drive, once this was all over. Sadly that will never happen.
Thank you a lot for this LIVESTREAM! You guys were like Ninja turtles for me, and Chick, of course, was like Master Splinter. Absolutely brilliant and historical fusion band, one of the greatest of all time. Rest in peace, Chick!
in 1977 i fell from the chair listening to RTF Big Band with "most fantastic young drummer" Gerry Brown, 1985, already student of music, i fell from the chair again, listening to you guys for the first time, Chick and especially Electric Band, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to Dave Weckl in Summer 1994 at "Malta Jazz Festival", changed my life,you always have been part of it, THANK YOU
Dave and Chick's duet after the opening melody in Tale Of Daring (Inside Out) - to this day holds up to the test of time. No drummer & piano player had a more true improvisational ESP in the moment than Chick and Dave. And that shouldn't be lost on any of us.
Was my go to album for inspiration when it first came out. All these years later I play it for my younger friends who have never heard it and they are as blown away now as I was then.
Hard to find words... THE greatest musicians in the universe ... good god... telling such personal stories with the legend Chick Corea behind the scenes ...
I think it was 1983. I was at rock bottom. I'd been getting weaker and sicker for 8 months. No one could diagnose it. I didn't know what was happening, but it seemed I was slowly dying. Return to Forever was was playing at the Berkeley Community Theater and had a ticket. When I went to see Return to Forever, the effect it had was overpowering. I left actually feeling well--and happy, and I continued to get better. I recovered. I knew that the music was full of transformation energy. Return to Forever had brought something that had cured me, though I couldn't explain it. But now I understand what happened. When you guys explained Chick Corea's energy and said "It was like he brought all the power in the universe through his hands, his whole being," that and what you said about the solos being "conversations" that could never be repeated. Return to Forever had an amazing conversation with me. Your concert was sublime, and it healed me. Chick Corea embodied Godliness. Rest well, Chick. I owe you everything.
I am so grateful that you could share all those precious moments you had with the great Chick Corea. I was really touched by the affection and gratitude you had towards Mr. Corea. You guys are beautiful !! With affection, Bernard...
It's 4:30 in the morning here in Atlanta and I simply could not sleep until I watched every second of this video. Thanks so much guys for doing this. The band created my favorite music, period! I still listen to all of it. I've met Chick several times and he was the nicest man that I have ever met. Although his death is still so painful this video really helped to heal my heart and I know that Chick is smiling due to this tribute. For me you are all legends and I know that you all will continue to share the spirit and passion that Chick represented in every note that you play.
Chick was definitely one of the greatest musician composers to ever walk the earth !!!!!! Bar none! And the Electric Band with all you guys was and will always be to a man one of the greatest bands ever put together of all times !!!!! Thank you sooooo much for you’re great music and stories! God Bless
Listening to how Frank describes his audition... I can't stop smiling and laughing. These guys are brothers for life. Rest in peace, Chick. Thank you for your music.
Every morning, while driving my daughter to school, which was a 30min. drive, I would play only Elektric Band CDs. I would explain to her, to the best of my knowledge what was going on. I'm sure it drove her nuts but she was very cordial about it because she new how important this music was to me and how much I loved everything about the Elektric Band. Thank you guys...
It is such a treat listening to your stories with the master guys. I met Chick three times it was beyond words. He was the zeitgeist of the times. Thanks EB...RIP maestro!!!
I miss Chick even more after viewing this amazing tribute. I saw the Electric Band June 18th 1987 at The Chance, in Poughkeepsie, NY. It was so amazing and intense. The place was packed with a very enthusiastic crowd. Pretty fired up & rowdy for a jazz show. They did multiple encores, and I wondered if all their shows were so long? Such a great memory... RIP Chick
This is the 3rd time I’ve watched this video. I’m so appreciative. You four along with Chick have brought tremendous joy & inspiration to my life. RIP Maestro
The way you talk about Chick brings tears in my eyes. The feeling Chick gives me when I see and hear him play is sheer joy and gives me a kind of intimicy as if I am a part of "it". The creativity, togetherness and kind musical conversation between him and you fellow musicians is overwhelming. I am so glad his music became a part of me. Beautiful memories.
I think you was the best jazz band in the history!!! Remember me youth!!! I love you guys!!! Chick live!!!! Chick is in my heart, my soul, my brain!!! Thanks for the music, makes me feel so good!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you all for the livestream tribute to Chick Corea. .I loved all the stories and all the great music, and yes, besides his numerous, amazing compositions, Chick will always be remembered for his unbelievable high-level, creative playing and interaction with other great, inspirational musicians such as yourselves! You all contributed so much to making The Electric Band what it is. Rest in peace Chick Corea. The joy that you brought to millions will be here forever.
Beautiful tribute to a titan of a talent who always will be treasured--the incomparable Mr. Chick Corea. It's difficult to fathom the music world in his absence! We are blessed to have been graced with his prodigious talent! It's a treat to see all four members of the Elektric band at once. Thank you all for your individual gifts and for sharing your special memories with all of us. "Light Years" was one of my favorites by The Chick Corea Elektric Band....I look forward to the forthcoming album by the group. God bless Chick Corea, his dear family, and all of you and yours! Thank you again!
It's incredible to see you guys, talking and remembering so many memories of you with chick. I knew you were giants with your respective instruments, but you're also so funny and humble, I quite didn't expect that. You're the kind of people anyone would want to be friend with. In a way, you are also part of my family. I listened to most of your albums since my 20s (I'm on the verge of my 50s). Glad to hear "To the stars" and "Inside Out" are your favourite albums, they're mine too. I can't believe Chick passed away. I saw him last year playing at Lyon's Auditorium (along with Steve Gadd and Lionel Loueke) and wouldn't have thought he was anywhere near the end of his life... Just as you are grateful for having had the opportunity of playing with Chick, I'm grateful I heard of you and could follow you successive musical creations and evolutions. I need to pinch my cheek (corea ?) to make sure I'm not dreaming while watching this more than 2 hours long video.... Life can be incredible, really, I nearly have tears waiting to roll while you tell all your great anecdotes with chick and details showing how great a man he was (and you are too !). Luckily I could attend many concerts with Chick and you, including one as the Electric Band (I have fond memories of CTA playing during that one - I remember Chick still changing settings on a keyboard on the left hand, while playing with the right hand. Yes, the song had already started and there was no hiccup at all !). Eager to hear the upcoming live album and also, Frank made me want to know more about Return to Forever.
Guys,thank you all to be part of my personal-soundtrack of life.Light years album blow my mind away.Thank you,thank you,thank you.Chick Corea music will be in history of humanity.Take care guys.ALL LOVE !!!! Hey John,your bass solo in Got a match always make me cry of joy,was incredible.
Thank you, Dave Weckl, for this video stream with the 4 of you guys. I was a total shock us, a few jazz musicians in the Faroe Islands (pulation 53.000), when we heard the news of Chic's passing - way too early. Chick Corea Elektric Band had a huge impact on us in our band, PLÚMM, and also a few other musicians in the Faroes. Hearing you guys talking about his essence, summed up in his own words "to be free to create", is the most important lesson we, or at least I (speaking for my self) have learned about playing with other people. Hearing Chick Corea Elektric Band live at TIVOLI in Copenhagen back in 1988 was, I think, when I learned that lesson, just intuitively, by hearing, and seeing, you guys doing it right there on the spot. Also. It is so nice to see and hear you guys talk about Chick Corea so lovingly. I have seen a few interviews with Chick lately, after his passing, where I have realized what a kindhearted human being he really was - and so are all four of you too. You all have been, and are, a great inspiration for my self and a lot of musicians out there. Thank you for what you do and keep going - I love it. Rest in peace - Chick Corea All the best, Arnold Ludvig - arnoldludvig.com
Thanks so much for this guys! It has been both touching and informative, and always entertaining but without getting too sobby. We all miss the Maestro enormously, and his passing has left a gaping hole, but enjoying his memory is the best way forward. Best wishes to you all.
I met Chick once when Dave played at Zanzibar blue in Philly on the same night that Chick was playing at the Kimmel Center. After Chick finished his gig he walked down the street to Zanzibar and sat in with Dave and me and my roommate (both music school students at UArts) were blown away by the occasion and after they were done they all came out to talk to everyone and my roommate was real bold and asked Chick if we could hang out with him and HE SAID YES! I nearly fainted. He said “for two UArts students I’ll do anything” and we literally just chit chatted with him for maybe half an hour and he was seriously the nicest sweetest guy. He was actually a real person, you know? He understood how much that meant to us and he lived up to our hopes in every way. For me personally, Chick has always been my favorite piano player of all time and I think I bought maybe 10 of his CDs in my freshman year alone.. so it was truly a “meeting your hero” moment for me (and I’m a drummer so it means something to me to respect a piano player so much when I hardly know how those weirdos think lol) (also ironically I’ve met like... 3(?) drummers who played with Chick... Weckl, Gadd, Haynes... so I feel an immense personal connection to that whole scene. Dave Weckl and Gene Krupa were my first and still my biggest drum hero’s... so yeah, I will never forget the time I hung out with Chick Corea and found out he was just as cool as I had always hoped. I feel a huge personal sense of loss with his passing. Chick is a huge part of me. RIP Chick.
You aren’t alone, my friend- there are many musicians and music lovers who feel the same. Thanks for sharing your cool story... Philly area drummer here myself (rock). Any creative person has to stand back and admire Chick and his family of players. Even people normally turned off by jazz or jazzy music have expressed awe at the zeal and skill they represent.
Thank you for this guys. All of you are inspirations. Chick is dearly missed. How amazing it is that we were blessed with his music. That will live on forever. Thank you Chick.
The Elektric Band is the best band ever! I will never forget the day I saw you guys perform live at the Free Jazz Festival in Campinas/São Paulo (Brazil 🇧🇷) back in September 4th, 1987 - it was phenomenal!!!
Hey guys, you know you're a legend for more than one generation, don't you? Have you already realize that ? Thank you for everything you did and beautiful tribute to the master.
Great stories, guys I miss him very much, you are all blessed, I still would love to hear what you can come up with in the future, together, thank you for sharing! 👍🏻🎸🍊
i got to see the elektrik band at Nashville's Schermerhorn performance center - amazing performance, having grew up with the music, i got to take my brother and he got to shake everyone's hand. an amazing experience like no other.
I loved when I First saw All of You, along with Chick, Playing "99 Flavors" (Live). Chick takes You through the Chorus Once and then, takes completely Off with a Keyboard Solo that was Unreal?!
I saw you guys live in Innsbruck (Treibhaus) late 80s and this totally changed my live - you are the Gods of music, making this world a better place to be. Big thanks to each of you and the Maestro himself.
I feel so fortunate to have seen the magic that Chick brought to life, and the incredible musicians he nurtured and brought along for the ride. Thanks so much reminiscing on your life with Chick, it was throughly enjoyable and inspiring.
There are so many great schools of jazz. Ellington, Armstrong, Blakey, Miles. This was the jazz school of our time, and the former students are now the teachers. The Corea school goes on, because the fearsome foursome of the jazz world is teaching the Corea way. We will all miss Chick, but the lessons are still being taught.
Thanks very much guys you are great musicians and good friends keep together and give us great music for sure chick will be happy to here his continuing legacy
When Masters become students again. Thanks for this. It took me 2 weeks to play it because i was just paralized by his death. I love the music you guys made. And with all the (tower of) inspiration you got from Chick and all the other folks you know, knew and played with, just continue the legacy please. All respect and all of the respct i can´t write down now! His spirit will continue AT LEAST for our lifetimes.
i cant still believe he's gone... still devastated, still heartbroken. he has an irreplaceable impact on anyone who's into his music. his legacy and music will live on. 🙏🏻
I've always been a massive CC fan and then of course the CCEB, and I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this video, but I love it so much, and it's such a great tribute to the man. Since I was 13 years old, I had all his recordings, I used to correspond with him... he would write back, too, and give very personable responses, being encouraging and informative, and I have ultimate respect for him and his creations. Creations that you guys made complete, and brought to fruition so wonderfully. Inspiring!! I can't tell you how much 'food' for creativity I got from the Elektic Band's output. The music was a total force all it's own and always devastated the landscape. Thank you guys! Thank you CHICK!!! You left a beautiful mark on the world.
Hey Guys..Jazz Nut yes....Loved Chick's stuff and still exploring. Thank you Gentlemen for sharing stories and you kindnesses...An awesome thing to listen to each other and "Conversing" as you have said. Appreciate your great decencies and graciousness of each others gifts:)
Dear CCEB, I think you still haven't fully realized how important you are in our lives. You are the soundtrack of our lives and we know every single note that you played in each recording better than you! You still enlight our days and you made the world better. Thank!
The Chick Corea Electrik Band gave another new way of music. The Maestro was a cool teacher, but He has the lucky to found 4 great students to going on with His project and these 4 students becames also 4 great teachers for all of us. In fact this is supported from the great music of your single career. Thank you also for this video that show us how the project came up.

These life stories are solid gold for us and the next generations
I have to admit, I've been largely paralyzed since Chick's death. I mean, I've kept my head up -- I've been motivated, inspired, and done a ton of practicing, composing, listening; but I haven't been able to shake this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. You guys are all personal heroes to me, and this tribute filled me up. I don't know how to thank you. I can't wait to hear the release of the live material, and I sincerely hope to see you all together again soon!
Okay, I'm done. Time to make some music!
Dude...you're an inspiration to musicians all by yourself...if there's anything good about youtube, it's fellas like you. Let's just keep drawing inspiration from Chick and the rest of the greats and get on with getting on...
Same, Chick and Keith Emerson was my biggest heroes growing up. I just checked out your channel by the way. Really loving it.
I Feel The Same, A Big Shake, and i can't get it Out . . . I Keep Listening To Chick and Gayle . . . I Feel Better Doing That . . .
FREQUENCY cannot DIE....chick's out there with rest of em....perhaps they have actually BECOME MUSIC (wave-forms) on another plain of existence....
It's very hard to even imagine a world without Armando.
Chick lives. His music will be heard by generations to come.
Thank you, Dave, John, Frank and Eric, for doing this. You guys are awesome!
Chick Corea's Electrics Band was an incredible moment in music history, you could say.
All the records have that magical, almost Mozartian touch, which is part of his style, his signature.
But in my opinion, the first Album and "Inside out" are the strongest albums of this period of Chick.
Now, talking about Scott Henderson. Scott is an incredible guitarist, with a deep and unrepeatable style. And, with all that is said, the concept that Scott brought to the first Electric band, was never repeated again. His very peculiar improvisations make him for me a kind of Thelonious Monk of the electric guitar. I do not believe, with all due respect, that Frank Gambale, who is a great virtuoso, has brought the same conceptual and musical depth to the chick band as Scott Henderson.
For example, one of the great, magical, and unforgettable compositions of the first album is the track "Cool Weasel Boogie", a serialist and minimalist work that continuously repeats the same theme in a crescendo mode.Well, Scott's work on that track is fabulous, an outpouring of good taste and incomparable conceptualism. I never heard that magic again in the work of Chick, whom I consider one of my idols.
If you have any doubts about what I'm talking about, listen to the discographies of both guitarists and compare them.
Scott Henderson's compositions are timeless.
Frank Gambale's music, although I repeat, he is an incredible virtuoso, is pure rhetoric.
Dave and Chick's duet on Tale Of Daring (Inside Out) in an absolutely incredible moment on that record. But another moment of great ESP of improvisation between a drummer and a pianist can be heard in the song "Eshun Agwe" by Gonzalo Rubalcaba from the album "Antiguo".
Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SO MANY GREAT AND PRICELESS MUSICAL MEMORIES/ EXPERIENCES!!! We love you all!!!
these extraordinary but humble guys made the soundtracks of my life for 30 years. I will never forget this privilege to be able to enjoy jazz music. it’s one of the most beautiful presents to see them together talking about their history.

Me too!
Same.
Chicks loss was huge and I am so sad I will never be able to see Elektric Band. One of my bucket list resolutions since Covid hit last March was to go and see them if they ever got close enough to drive, once this was all over.
Sadly that will never happen.
Thank you a lot for this LIVESTREAM! You guys were like Ninja turtles for me, and Chick, of course, was like Master Splinter. Absolutely brilliant and historical fusion band, one of the greatest of all time. Rest in peace, Chick!
You are missed every day, every minute... incredible eternal maestro.
Txs4 the reflections,means a lot to your audience! Frank is thunder from down under! H.S. teacher said listening is the hardest part!
Chick Corea shaped who I am as a pianist. Thank you for this lovely tribute.
in 1977 i fell from the chair listening to RTF Big Band with "most fantastic young drummer" Gerry Brown, 1985, already student of music, i fell from the chair again, listening to you guys for the first time, Chick and especially Electric Band, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to Dave Weckl in Summer 1994 at "Malta Jazz Festival", changed my life,you always have been part of it, THANK YOU

Was my go to album for inspiration when it first came out. All these years later I play it for my younger friends who have never heard it and they are as blown away now as I was then.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hard to find words... THE greatest musicians in the universe ... good god... telling such personal stories with the legend Chick Corea behind the scenes ...
I'm overwhelmed... thank you soooo much!
Chick Corea my favorite musician of all time. The greatest ever... THE BEST OF THE BEST
Yes an opinion but TRUE !
Greetings from JUNIN, PERU !!! El Maestro CHICK COREA will live forever !!!
This was absolutely incredible...........What a beautiful tribute to the great man! x
you are never truly gone when youve left such an impactful legacy behind. our physical form decays but music echoes forever
It was a great loss, for me here in Brazil I have always followed his work together with Eletric Band, jazz will not be the same as before
I think it was 1983. I was at rock bottom. I'd been getting weaker and sicker for 8 months. No one could diagnose it. I didn't know what was happening, but it seemed I was slowly dying.

Hearing Chick Corea Elektric Band live at TIVOLI in Copenhagen back in 1988 was, I think, when I learned that lesson, just intuitively, by hearing, and seeing, you guys doing it right there on the spot.
Also. It is so nice to see and hear you guys talk about Chick Corea so lovingly. I have seen a few interviews with Chick lately, after his passing, where I have realized what a kindhearted human being he really was - and so are all four of you too.
You all have been, and are, a great inspiration for my self and a lot of musicians out there. Thank you for what you do and keep going - I love it.
Rest in peace - Chick Corea
All the best, Arnold Ludvig - arnoldludvig.com
Thanks so much for this guys! It has been both touching and informative, and always entertaining but without getting too sobby. We all miss the Maestro enormously, and his passing has left a gaping hole, but enjoying his memory is the best way forward. Best wishes to you all.
Thank you Chik for ther music you gave us all. Thank you all that continue on with the adventure in this wonderful thing called Music art.
Thank you for putting this together, Dave. This was very special to hear the history and stories. You guys are heroes for so many.
I met Chick once when Dave played at Zanzibar blue in Philly on the same night that Chick was playing at the Kimmel Center. After Chick finished his gig he walked down the street to Zanzibar and sat in with Dave and me and my roommate (both music school students at UArts) were blown away by the occasion and after they were done they all came out to talk to everyone and my roommate was real bold and asked Chick if we could hang out with him and HE SAID YES! I nearly fainted. He said “for two UArts students I’ll do anything” and we literally just chit chatted with him for maybe half an hour and he was seriously the nicest sweetest guy. He was actually a real person, you know? He understood how much that meant to us and he lived up to our hopes in every way. For me personally, Chick has always been my favorite piano player of all time and I think I bought maybe 10 of his CDs in my freshman year alone.. so it was truly a “meeting your hero” moment for me (and I’m a drummer so it means something to me to respect a piano player so much when I hardly know how those weirdos think lol) (also ironically I’ve met like... 3(?) drummers who played with Chick... Weckl, Gadd, Haynes... so I feel an immense personal connection to that whole scene. Dave Weckl and Gene Krupa were my first and still my biggest drum hero’s... so yeah, I will never forget the time I hung out with Chick Corea and found out he was just as cool as I had always hoped. I feel a huge personal sense of loss with his passing. Chick is a huge part of me. RIP Chick.
You aren’t alone, my friend- there are many musicians and music lovers who feel the same. Thanks for sharing your cool story... Philly area drummer here myself (rock). Any creative person has to stand back and admire Chick and his family of players. Even people normally turned off by jazz or jazzy music have expressed awe at the zeal and skill they represent.
Thank you to you all , I really enjoyed your tribute .
Thank you for this guys. All of you are inspirations. Chick is dearly missed. How amazing it is that we were blessed with his music. That will live on forever. Thank you Chick.
The Elektric Band is the best band ever! I will never forget the day I saw you guys perform live at the Free Jazz Festival in Campinas/São Paulo (Brazil 🇧🇷) back in September 4th, 1987 - it was phenomenal!!!
A sad occasion turned happy, it's sure wonderful seeing you guys together.
Hey guys, you know you're a legend for more than one generation, don't you? Have you already realize that ? Thank you for everything you did and beautiful tribute to the master.
Thank you all for this.
Thank you guys for sharing all these wonderful stories with us!!!
Thank you for this memorial Mr. Weckl
Thanks for your Music Chick Corea - forever your music is alive.
Great stories, guys I miss him very much, you are all blessed, I still would love to hear what you can come up with in the future, together, thank you for sharing! 👍🏻🎸🍊
"eye of the beholder" was My start in jazz. And still love that album. I also really love akoustic band. Chick Corea was next level 😊
Thanks for sharing us and it's a great band and will always be the best band I've listened. Will miss Chick forever!
i got to see the elektrik band at Nashville's Schermerhorn performance center - amazing performance, having grew up with the music, i got to take my brother and he got to shake everyone's hand. an amazing experience like no other.
I loved when I First saw All of You, along with Chick, Playing "99 Flavors" (Live). Chick takes You through the Chorus Once and then, takes completely Off with a Keyboard Solo that was Unreal?!
Legends talking about your legend! thank-you
I’ve been loving this monster of a band for 3 decades. Thank you,Chick,for the inspiration and the drive to be better.
I saw you guys live in Innsbruck (Treibhaus) late 80s and this totally changed my live - you are the Gods of music, making this world a better place to be. Big thanks to each of you and the Maestro himself.
Chick Corea is legend …… and his music as a legacy will stay with us forever ……while humanity exist ……
I saw that quartet tour with Holdsworth trio opening in November '86. Very exciting show!
I feel so fortunate to have seen the magic that Chick brought to life, and the incredible musicians he nurtured and brought along for the ride. Thanks so much reminiscing on your life with Chick, it was throughly enjoyable and inspiring.
There are so many great schools of jazz. Ellington, Armstrong, Blakey, Miles. This was the jazz school of our time, and the former students are now the teachers. The Corea school goes on, because the fearsome foursome of the jazz world is teaching the Corea way. We will all miss Chick, but the lessons are still being taught.
Thanks very much guys you are great musicians and good friends keep together and give us great music for sure chick will be happy to here his continuing legacy
When Masters become students again. Thanks for this. It took me 2 weeks to play it because i was just paralized by his death. I love the music you guys made. And with all the (tower of) inspiration you got from Chick and all the other folks you know, knew and played with, just continue the legacy please. All respect and all of the respct i can´t write down now! His spirit will continue AT LEAST for our lifetimes.
i cant still believe he's gone... still devastated, still heartbroken. he has an irreplaceable impact on anyone who's into his music. his legacy and music will live on. 🙏🏻
Wow, that was emotional for me.....saw the electric band in DC back in 2004....RIP Chick...
I've always been a massive CC fan and then of course the CCEB, and I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this video, but I love it so much, and it's such a great tribute to the man. Since I was 13 years old, I had all his recordings, I used to correspond with him... he would write back, too, and give very personable responses, being encouraging and informative, and I have ultimate respect for him and his creations. Creations that you guys made complete, and brought to fruition so wonderfully. Inspiring!! I can't tell you how much 'food' for creativity I got from the Elektic Band's output. The music was a total force all it's own and always devastated the landscape. Thank you guys! Thank you CHICK!!! You left a beautiful mark on the world.
Hey Guys..Jazz Nut yes....Loved Chick's stuff and still exploring. Thank you Gentlemen for sharing stories and you kindnesses...An awesome thing to listen to each other and "Conversing" as you have said. Appreciate your great decencies and graciousness of each others gifts:)
Saw you all in south of france La Roque d'Antheron many years ago, what a gig ! thank you for the tribute to Chick.
Thank you for all the great music and stories🤓🥁👍🏼
Oh my god. Watching this made me sadder than when I heard the new last month. Such a nice conversation with all these gigantic talents.
You guys motivate and still motivate me to be a better drummer. Chick got me into jazz. Glad to be a jazz drummer
thank you so much for the insights to playing with chick corea greatly apreciated
Dear CCEB, I think you still haven't fully realized how important you are in our lives. You are the soundtrack of our lives and we know every single note that you played in each recording better than you! You still enlight our days and you made the world better. Thank!
Thanks for the conversation and it's so wonderful seeing you guys together in zoom. I really love you guys all, stay healthy :)
Thanks for sharing guys! One of my all time favorite bands.
A great history of an incredible music, from amazing musicians! Now we are waiting for what those who continue his legacy will produce! Greetings!
This was fantastic. Thanks Dave and gents
Thank you all so much for sharing this .... I wished that this conversation would never end ... 🙏
Glad I've had a chance to see Chick live twice. Return to Forever - 2008 and with Bela Fleck - 2007.
Thank you so much for doing this!
The Chick Corea Electrik Band gave another new way of music. The Maestro was a cool teacher, but He has the lucky to found 4 great students to going on with His project and these 4 students becames also 4 great teachers for all of us. In fact this is supported from the great music of your single career. Thank you also for this video that show us how the project came up.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Elektric band a couple of times here in the UK. Memorable moments.
