Rest in peace, Chick! Thank you for your great music and for all the inspirational moments that you shared with us all these years of your amazing career! We'll miss you, my dear giant of jazz music!
@@carlosparker4358 That's like saying, "I'll just eat steak and potatoes from now on." As genius as Chick was, there have been countless jazzers just as worth listening to as him. I hope you're able to discover most of them.
Chick was a massive part of my life a brilliant musician and loved that he was there online during the pandemic. I lived for those sessions. So missed. Love you always.
I've been practicing Armando's Rhumba for a few months now prepping for a jazz concert (tenor sax). Love it!. Great job Chick ,and don't let Liberace hog the bar piano in heaven.
Improvisation for me, and as a drummer, has always been when I reached a state of mind when playing that felt natural and uncoerced. Uncoerced by the dictations of traditions of a certain style, and uncoerced by the expectations from the other participating musicians whom on occasion treat drummers as glorified time keepers and treat piano players as glorified chord factories. Improvisation for me has always been when the musician makes and commits to choices while the performance is happening. A present and in the moment zen that facilitates both reactive responses and creative invention at the same time. If I play a four to the floor beat to a track that was written with that beat in mind I am not improvising but rather performing. However, I can play that exact beat at a jam session but now it is improvised because it was a creative choice I made in that moment and not a dictation from another. Love to yall, rip Corea. A legend
The guy is the best. His solo albums are unbelievable. Especially "The Leprechaun" which is the best album I own. And he works with the most talented musicians.
Leprechaun was my 1st album of his and I completely wore it out my freshman year in college. Un-frikkin-believable, that music! Absolutely enchanting, fascinating, complex, exquisitely gorgeous, just stunning. Cool to find another Leprechaun fan here. :-)
As always, I just can't fathom, how incredibly unrestrained Chick is in terms of technique, rhythm and harmonic vocabulary. He just can play absolutely anything he thinks of, immediately without preparation or mistakes. You can't go much further than this. And every note has a purpose, every tempo or dynamic nuance has a meaning, nothing is left to chance.
yeah? YOU haven't heard anything. my instructor in the 80s improvised star spangled banner with a 6 part counterpoint in the right hand and a 256th note slightly chromatic arpeggio in the left hand all whilst playing the harmonica with his nostrils. Legend
Stefan Feist hey did you know Chick started out as a drummer! But when I met guitarist Al Dimeola he told me Chick was a terrible drummer. Lol! Go figure....btw Al D played drums too. That's why he is so fast playing the guitar!
Same here. The way Chick can slap time and rhythm around like a...well I'll reserve that remark but I hope you get my drift. Any instrumentalist who can turn cats like Weckl, Novak, Gilmore, Haynes, White, Gadd loose and never ever lose time or make those drummers lose time is a musical god. Herbie is the same. BTW, you can hear Chick play drums on the extended version of the Three Quartets album...I can't remember if Gadd played piano on those couple tunes but Chick does hold his own and swings nicely...regardless of what Dimeola says. He's just pissed because he got fired :-)
I met Gadd backstage once and chatted for a couple of minutes. I'd heard him on a couple of albums with Chick and he told me that Chick taught him a lot about playing drums. (I didn't think he meant technically, but something along the lines of how to orchestrate with the drums and tie the other instruments in the band together with the kit)
One of the most difficult things to do is to teach someone what comes naturally (with one's talent or giftedness). The lessons can only go so far before the individual does not have the words to convey the freedoms and rules they are using. It doesn't mean it can't be learned, it is just incredibly difficult to teach. Kudos to Corea for doing his best to reveal what goes on inside his brain.
@ Chick Corea. Thank You for your art! You are my Master, sir! I grow up in '90s with your Electric City's scores, playing piano and synths. You are literary the KEY of my youth behind keyboards! The way you play piano completely change my approach to the music! You are my myth. I started to play Jazz piano listening to your music and I strived to learn how to play "that stuff"! I was a 16yo classic piano student. You brought sparkles in my music as much as Mozart! Every time I put my fingers on a synth or a piano, is on the Bb and I end up playing some note of your Elektric City solo! I still have an SY77 (you should know the big sister!) with some sound I created with your name! "Chick- something" has always been a prefix for a cool sound on my synths! I've learned a lot! Thank you very much for your PERFECT scores that still flow inside my music, my solos. I know I'm using some movement that comes from that studies! With the Hannon (the crazy tecnique to play it all as exercise... every day!) and one of your scores book I switched from a student to a decent musician. Now my life's changed. But I owe a lot to your music. Thank you very much. I'm not only your fan. My music has been influenced by you!
so present. This is the best example of improvisation across all art forms that I have ever heard. There were less than 100 people in the audience in Brisbane when I saw him play in 1978. I hitched from Maroochydore and hitched back after the show to start work as a builders labourer at 6.30am. Got back at 4am. He called the scattered audience in to all sit down the front of Festival Hall near him and he played for us for two hours just like he does in this video. He makes you feel like you are there right beside him on the piano stool. What a great performer, musician and teacher.
Back in the 90s I used to work for Chick out in LA. I was his "Estates Manager". I took care of his house and grounds. He was an amazing and sweet guy. Great sense of humor. Part of working for him back then was that I had a "Back Stage Pass" for any show he did. I saw some amazing shows! I saw one of the Bobby McFerrin shows when they first got started. And a some Acoustic band shows too. I cherish those memories.
That is frigging amazing. In 1968 or 69, I went to hear Chick Corea play with Herbie Hancock at San Francisco's Masonic Auditorium on California Street. It's a great modern acoustic auditorium with a balcony. They were both brilliant that night. By any chance, do you happen to know where I could find or look-up the exact date of that show? I realize it's a lot to ask, but they couldn't have appeared there more than once between those two years ('68-'69). I am sure about seeing them in that particular time frame.
Chick Corea is embodiment of music!!! I love His music creation and improvisation I can't imagine my life without his music.Chick Corea is a giant of music!
One of the ABSOLUTE GREATEST DAYS OF MY LIFE when I met Chick and Gayle Moran after they played at a college auditorium with Don Elias! FOREVER burned in my mind and heart! Keith Jarrett Ahamad Jamal Chick Corea Herbie Hancock and Dave Grusin Billy Taylor Ramsey Lewis Manfredo Fest Thelonius Monk Oscar Peterson .. I cannot believe I have heard such great musicians. Thank you Chick, your life has been anything but easy, but you never allowed the times and changes burden you. Your music is a lesson in life all by itself.
Finding what style best suites your personal expression is the first step. Our background and quality of our soul cannot be duplicated or copied. Technic and theory have to be understood and practiced for years and intently applied to get real results. Learning from the legends can help you discover principles and applications that can be tools to help you discover yourself. Thank you Chick for sharing yours with us.
Every instructor who goes about explaining music theory, and improvising does it, of course, in their own words. Chick, thankfully, chose to start with talking about describing the 'patterns', and how we decide to allow the degree of variations to make. Good way to describe the initial process! Thanks Chick!
Mr Corea you're an American treasure! God bless and remain strong. I cannot get enough of your music and know I'm not alone in that. Thanks for these video insights/master classes; they're great, I plan to watch 'em all (and I'm a drummer).
Chick makes it look so easy! It's so great that a master of this calabre is communicating with us mortals and great to hear how he thinks when he plays.
I wonder how more than 200 people did not like the video. Have to believe they hit the wrong button. Corea is a truly genius, with a unique style. I am happy that our lives have overlapped. Lucky me.
The fact that Chick and others take students and try to teach them improvisation is awesome. I look at performing songs like they're a dog. If I have to follow all the rules they're like a junkyard bulldog that doesn't like change. If someone in the band says do whatever you want, the song is like a puppy waiting to be lead down an unknown path and excited about it. Usually it's somewhere in the middle like my 10-year old yellow labrador who doesn't mind paths but dinner better be around 6pm.
The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤
This guy never made much sense to me but he sure does now. The look on his face at 6:12 as he play Happy Birthday and then as he improvises on it is wonderful.
What a great philosophy and ability Chick imparts to us all ! "Observing and faithfully conveying a hidden reality through an ordinary form", Mark Kramer, pianist
Sadly CC as a mature musician follows what Vincent Persichetti's version of composing aka improve . do what you want . Keith Jarrett is a channel of his memory .. a whole different path and i think CC knew this when he record for ECM , Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 and 2 , he lost it after that . IMO
The importance of the ear can not be overlooked! Chick can pull these melodies out of thin air and play them because of having such a good ear. Whether it's perfect pitch or relative pitch, they're both very useful.
This video deserved more than a million views. To bad, world wide people only loved to watch more craps. Thank You for sharing your knowledge, Mr. Chick.
Chick - I first 'found' you back around 1970 - on Filles de Kilimanjaro (waaaaaaay before the interweb).. 'been a fan ever since. This is great to find. Thanks for sharing.
SINCE "RETURN TO FOREVER " 1972 i love YOUR MUSIC ! Dear Chick ! (a professional French drummer ,have payed with Rhoda Scott , Thierry Mineau Etienne M'Bappe Guy N'Sangué and others musicians ) friendships !
💥 The problem is that for Chick, improvisation was as easy as walking, but for most of us, creating REALLY GOOD improvisation is a struggle. Most can do some good few bars, but can't keep all the solo at an astonishing level like he did, because he was a genius. He only played exactly what he wanted and never run out of excellent ideas. But common people can't create the unthinkable... 🎉❤❤❤
Pues Chikc Corea siempre lo es y será. El músico más virtuoso que hemos tenido y tendremos hasta el final de vuestros días. Miguel Ángel, saludos desde Chile. Cuanto no deseamos tener en vuestro país a Chikc Corea?
Chick Corea I am a great admirer of his work and of his themes ! we here in Brazil love your theme spain congratulations for sharing your knowledge with the world , hugs and success always

Noone has heard anything. Ever. My instructor (in the early aughts) once flatulated the entire theme to Jurassic Park.
That's known as "Your-ass-ic Park"
This whole thread is what the internet needs
Yes, he has total control. Except everything winds up sounding like Chick Corea. I mean that in both positive and negative ways. :-)
Such a remarkable musician. Will always miss his timeless music. RIP.
Chick is the best. I'm a drummer, but I'd say he is my number one inspiration. So much going on in his music, rhythmically alone!
Stefan Feist hey did you know Chick started out as a drummer! But when I met guitarist Al Dimeola he told me Chick was a terrible drummer. Lol! Go figure....btw Al D played drums too. That's why he is so fast playing the guitar!
Same here. The way Chick can slap time and rhythm around like a...well I'll reserve that remark but I hope you get my drift. Any instrumentalist who can turn cats like Weckl, Novak, Gilmore, Haynes, White, Gadd loose and never ever lose time or make those drummers lose time is a musical god. Herbie is the same.

True that. There are so many angles to the art of improvisation, but he does do a good job of revealing some of them.
Chick was one of the most beautiful musicians in jazz...such grace and beauty in his playing

rest in peace chick, thank you for the music and the inspiration
What a simplicity , so humble ...
He Just left but he will be always inside each of us ...
This idée to share was his last gift...
Thank you MASTER...
Chick is out of this world harmony. His music is so far away from others, its absolutely amazing and unique.
Musical geniuses are truly special. They give us so much.
I laughed so hard at his dissonant happy birthday because it's so true.
Maybe average people actually like atonal music but they just don't know it.
I _knew_ there was a reason I like Ornette !
Abraham Im holy shit i understand where you're coming from! 😁😂😀
I think I'd like that played at the rest of my birthdays. :)

Maybe the way of Keith Jarrett is diferent to Chick Corea, he find melodies in trance or Ecstasy
As the one who doing Jazz, deeply agree with this quote haha
