Ten Sticks Hitting 88 Tuned Drums Playing with One of His Best Friends. Chick's with Frank and George. I love you Vinnie., Thanks
Very eloquent and touching Vinnie. Chick isn't gone...He returned to forever. God bless.
Well said.
Thank you Vinnie for sharing those beautiful words about Chick. I love you too 🤓🥁👍🏼
The most moving tribute to Chick Corea I've heard, and from my favourite drummer.
Amazing.
I read somewhere that when RTF auditioned Al DiMeola, Chick told him (I think im telling this accurately) "ok, great, you're in, we've got a show tonight, and you're gonna play", Al asks him "what about a rehearsal??" and Chick tells Al "you'll do fine without one" lol!!!
I first listen to Chick in college Jazz band 1980 ish. When I found out about his death I cried. Chick brought happiness and inspiration to me. He will be missed but he did leave us all with the best gift, Music for life.
The POWER of music...what it is that transforms a man's life through the various phases of progression that continues forever...Vinnie w Chick & John in the early 90s when he is dragging that ciggy is EPIC. I think it was that acoustic gig in Florida...BURNING!
wow, The Italian brotherhood. RIP Armando!
Such beautiful words. Thanks Vinnie. Thanks Chick.
Tears flow as I listen to this. Thank you, Vinnie!
Beautiful beautiful tribute to a great man Vinnie . RIP Chick.
What a touching tribute to Chick, wise and soulful words for all of us under the spell of the musical muse.
So glad you're out there, Vinnie. I don't say this about many people I don't actually know, but I love you, man. The people in this world who help sustain me in so many critical ways just by being who you are: Allan, Chick, Towner, You, Metheny; few and far between. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you Vinnie C. That was beautiful, man.
We all really needed to hear such love. It's the perfect balance to a world in need.
My first introduction to Chick Corea was with his and Stanley's RTF with Lenny and Al.
The recording was "Romantic Warrior"! (How apropos the title now that I reflect).
That recording sent me on a musical quest that never ended.
I had to go backwards from there to fully understand and grasp an education of how they got to being Romantic Warriors. I had to listen to all their independent efforts that stem after that recording.
Chick simply had too much information to complete such a journey for me. That would be a college/Masters course!
"Fusion" was/is my degree!
Stanley, Lenny and Al musicology were much easier for me to archive.
All in all a beautiful journey. That introduced me to great drummers/persons like yourself!
Thanks again Sir Vinnie C. All of you great musicians and people now have the prefix title "Sir". With respect and admiration.
RIP Chick.🙏
Beautiful words Vinnie.
Awesome Tribute Vinnie.
Thank you Vinnie. I encountered Chick's music in the early '70s (from the mid '60s) in my piano lessons with Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. That record changed my life. He is in the top 3 piano players that have shaped me as a player. I followed Chick and his music through the decades since. What a legacy, but even more, what a human being. Thanks for your perspective and your personal stories of your times with him. BTW, you are in that high strata.
Absolutely beautiful, Vinnie, miss Chick, too.
I learn more from the words of these master musicians at this point than from their notes. The music is old, it's been there before time, always. These new words help us in the return to forever
what an incredible testimony. Thank you Vinnie. RIP Chick!
A very beautiful tribute Vinnie.
O M G Vincente , so beautiful Love Chick , may he lead a massive jam session upstairs
Thank you, Vinnie, for the remembrance. Thank you, Chick, for the music.
So beautiful, Vinnie love you, Chick live in our inspiration..
I was shocked and saddened when I heard. RIP Chick. ❤☮
So great Vinnie! Thanks. RIP Chick. And thank you!
Listening to you Vinnie helped me to see the whole path that Chick Corea laid out. He was the hero for all of us studying jazz fusion music in the 70’s and 80’s . He made it fun and worth it....RIP Chick Forever!!
Thanks Vinnie you would know we’ve met at drum Doctors years ago and you helped me I grew up in the same town in the Jersey shore as David sanchaze Belmar Chick was special and will never be forgotten thank you for your kind words his spirit will live on going though his music and humor Heaven is truly in the memories of those we love ❤️ 🙏🥁👍🏿
What an enlightening, thoughtful and generous tribute from Vinnie. It says as much about him as it does about Chick. His humility and warmth is evident. Two immensely talented and beautiful human beings.
I love Vinnie. Great words from a great musician.
Thank you for this, Vinnie. Chick's joyfulness, childlike curiosity, and absolute command of the music will never cease to be inspiring.
beautiful words
Vinnie knows, what he is talking about. A brilliant musician himself, not only a drummer, but a musician serving the music and the band, who lets his partners sound excellent. 6:25 - "I tell jokes ... that's my warm-up." Great statement, Chick!
Wow.
Thanks Vinnie. Beautifully said.
Thank you.
Wow, so beautifully written and spoken from the heart. RIP Chick. May you live long Vinnie.
Great solo Vinnie.
One of your best.
Thanks so much Vinnie....a beautifully spoken dedication to one of the greatest musical creative forces and masters of our time and, perhaps easily, of any time. How blessed you are to have played so many times with him and he with you. The musical results were infinitely brilliant. RIP Chick!!!
Well said Vinnie. You the man. Vinnie and Chick, 2 of the best on the planet... well, Chick off planet now :) Excellence. Masters. Best of the Best
Beautiful! God bless, Vinnie. R.I.P Chick, and thank you for your everlasting music!!!
awesome thank you !!!! loved it
I loved this essay. Beautifully written, excellently-paced, lots of breathing room around the phrases. I think Chick would really have appreciated it.
Also, Vinnie could have had a lucrative career as an audio book narrator...
What Chick and Co did for me is there's a difference between love of music and talent for music.
I was a mediocre alto sax player but music is in my blood so I worked really hard to hone my skills.
I saw RTF (Chic, Stanley, Al and Lenny) at the Beacon Theater NYC in '76.
Me and my crew had the entire row, aisle to aisle.
Then they came on stage and played mostly from "Romantic Warrior"
The lightbulb went off.
Here's these four guys, not much older than us, dressed like they were hanging out
And
WAS HAVING FUN! You could tell.
You could tell.
What did I learn?
Keep your day job but DON'T STOP HAVING FUN. 😎
[Edit]
IMHO
"Romantic Warrior" and "Song In The Keys of Life" by Stevie Wonder are two of the greatest bodies of work in a generation...
They are adults now listening to both of them
And
So are their kids. 😉
Very sad what a loss. Things will never be the same 🎼 what an honor to be a part of that legacy!!!! Thanks Vinnie 🥁
Chick was a massive inspiration on my career from a young age. Thanks Vinny. Couldn’t have put it better myself.

True art knows no fear; and that was the eternal spirit with Chick. Thank you for your heartfelt and kind words Vinnie.
Thanks Vinnie for taking the time for the incredible & inspirational words! Godspeed Chick
Thanks Vinnie, couldn't have said it better. Chick was such an influence and inspiration.
You were a great trio in Japan Vinnie.. Im so glad your share this with all of us 😊
R.I.P Chick Corea ❤🎹🎼
Vinney... so thoughtful of you to take the time for this tribute. Your words eloquently summarize the true path to creative mastery. It's clear, the journey is not only about developing our skills and musicianship but also the investment and giving of ourselves unselfishly to the people we are so fortunate work with. Best to you my dear friend. Thank you,... Casey Scheuerell
That's the best speech I heard on & about chick but also on the entire life process. Brilliant.
One of the most gracious and touching tributes I've ever heard.
This is priceless!!!! 😯😯😯😯😯
Great to hear this Vinnie. Lovely words.
Wow. What an incredible tribute. All artists should listen to this. That, friends, is how it is done. Indeed.
Vinnie...you moved me to tears!
Thank you
Brilliant minds work together Vinnie is a marvelous musician and person Great words about the greatest Maestro we ever knew Chick Corea RIP
Thank You Vinnie.
Really beautiful words! I wish more Vinnies and Chicks appear.
I can't remember ever hearing a better tribute. I am so glad Vinnie recorded it.
Easily the best words said with regards to Chick passing. after hearing the news I went deep diving into chick's catalog and came across Chick+Vinnie, Blue Note Tokyo 92, as well as Three Quartets - both are now all timers for me
“We’re serious about our art. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.”
Profound. Truth, Thanks Vinnie!
Thank you for sharing your memories of your friend Chick. I think I can speak for all of us that even though we didn't know him personally, he was our friend.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing and reminding us of a time we we’re all initially inspired and why! Continued success to you!
Wow, that was wonderful!
wow vinnie has a beautiful voice.
Wonderful words, Vinnie
Deep and beautiful words! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories with us.
"To The Stars" Chick, go show
them what it means to shine.
Play On My Man.
R.I.P. Chick.
Touching Tribute Vinnie.
Love the track "Memories of Sherwood"
on Steve Hunt's new Album "Connections".
Vinnie, you are my Inspiration, Teacher & Mentor.
What a great story!
Rest in peace Chick. The first time I heard you was on The Mad Hatter. It changed everything for me from then on. Thank You! And thanks Vinnie for your inspiring words, and talent and humanity also. I was at one of those shows at the Blue Note in Tokyo thanks to you. It was an experience I'll never forget!!
Brilliant Vinnie... Thank you🥁❤️RIP Chick Corea
Beautiful, man ❤️🐥🕊
I think "Beautiful" is the perfect word. The music is there... we, as artist just try and find it... uncover it... reveal it. We are just conduits that tap a higher power. Chick understood that.
A master drummer and so eloquent as well...
YES BUT NOT SO MODEST MUSICIAN....
I wish I could have seen that sword fight! Beautiful tribute.
"Welcome to the never ending process" ... Yes brother!
🙏
Sure.
Le testament musical de Chick Corea au fur et à mesure des années est devenu de premier plan, le plus performant, le plus exceptionnel voire le plus personnel et créatif de tous les pianistes de jazz de la 2eme moitié du XXEME et des 20 premières années du XXIEME. Il passe selon moi, même devant Jarrett et Hancock. 🤔😲
Ses inventivités rythmiques harmoniques et mélodiques sont exceptionnelles. Surtout je dirais son placement rythmique : inégalable.
Incroyable aisance d'un pianiste/batteur stupéfiant voire incompréhensible certaines fois tant son placement rythmique est juste et chirurgical. Sans oublier sa virtuosité phénoménale.
C'est tout une école et un esprit musical.
Il va faire école d'ailleurs et pour longtemps.
Incroyable Chick... Incredible Chick.
Just another reason why you're my favorite ❤
That was Amazing... Thank you for that, Vinnie!
A very intelligent and touching tribute. Thanks mr Colaiuta .
The genius of Chick Corea had lit up my life too.
As does your magical drumming
Beautiful eloquent words Vinnie, thank you. RIP the groundbreaking musical titan that was Chick Corea.
COREA TOUCHING MY HEART WITH HIS UNIQUE TALENT AND REAL SYMPATHY AND JOY ! ! BUT NOT VINNIE COLAIUTA GREAT MUSICIAN OK BUT NO MODESTY ON THIS MAN ...WHEN HE WAS FILMED ON HIS GIGS WE CAN SEE HIS ARROGANCE AND NOT DIRECTLY OR SIMPLY ACCESIBLE PERSONALITY...IT IS JUST MY POOR LIMITLESS OPINION DON'T BE CHOKED AND SORRY FOR MY POOR FRENCHY BAD ENGLISH ! ! LIKE WHO U WANT ! ! ANYBODY DO THAT WE CAN'T LIKE EVERYBODY ! HAVE A GOOD TIME ! BYE
@@berniz2282 You are entitled to your opinion, but I totally disagree. People express themselves in different ways, and often people who are shy come across as aloof or arrogant. Vinnie, like Chick and other great jazz musicians, was totally dedicated to his craft. I have come across other musicians who appear arrogant, but in fact are humble people when you get to know them (one in particular played briefly with the Elektric Band for example). If Vinnie was so selfish he would not have been able to say such lovely words about Chick.
@@fusionfan6883 Hi ! I am agree to ur opinion ^^! Have a good times !
it goes beyond music...it depends on how Chick viewed Jesus, what was his relationship to Jesus(if any), the road to heaven or hell. If Jesus wasn't his Lord and Saviour, he went to hell.
@@song4night How dare you inject your ridiculous fundamentalist beliefs into a celebration of one of the greatest musicians who ever graced this earth! His religious beliefs are none of your concern, and your attempt to cast judgement on another human being is arrogance of the worst kind. If you have nothing positive to say, then save your hateful opinion for those who subscribe to your particular brand of morose mythology!
Well done with a very well thought out and emotive and powerful ending similar to one of your exemplary solos. RIP Chick
Thanks to both of you!
Profound words maestro
❤️
Wow Vinnie, great great......🙏🙏🙏
Returning to FOREVER........❤️
welcome to forever. yes.
Thank you very much for sharing your memories and thoughts about the genius Chick Corea! His music was and still is a big part in my life as an music consumer as well as a musician! His music gave me many many hours of pleasure and was like fuel to my dreams! His appearance at the jazz festival Wiesen (Austria) was a landmark and the starting point for me! Unfortunately things changed. But, for me there is always light at the end of the tunnel, especially when heroes of mine like you and Chick Corea are sharing so much! Thank you! And, Maestro Corea, R.I.P! Klemens
Very well said. Thanks for sharing.
All these comments here gives much hope counteracting dire times of the evil scientists. Who lack the love gene that makes life's creation our reality.
Peace!
Well said! Thank you!
Seriously amazing tribute, that was class.
So real , so touching . Thank you for that 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for this
Wow. Thank you!
Thank you for this. We all lost a hero. You lost a friend. My best to you in these tough times.
Wow
Beautiful!
Perfectly said ✌❤🎶
