Biography

Born Armando Anthony Corea in Chelsea, Massachusetts on June 12, 1941, he began studying piano at age four. Early on in his development, Horace Silver and Bud Powell were important influences while the music of Beethoven and Mozart inspired his compositional instincts. Chick’s first major professional gig was with Cab Calloway, which came before early stints in Latin bands led by Mongo Santamaria… Read more in Amazon's Chick Corea Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Grab a Chair, August 9, 2002
By 
This review is from: Alive (Audio CD)
While it took me a while to appreciate this CD it quickly became one of my favorite. The level of virtuosity of the musicians is mind boggling but it never overwhelms the music. The energy level is so high that the cheering on here sounds like a roar during a football game. "Humpty Dumpty" is a great example of modern piano playing with its oblique changes and Corea's open pentatonic flurries while Dave Weckl seems to have 6 arms. John Pattituci matches both of them and produces one of the few bass solos that have remained in my head long after hearing it. Listen to this music sitting down: it will exhaust you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Virtuosity, December 28, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alive (Audio CD)
Quite possibly the best (and certainly most energetic) contemporary jazz trio. The level of technical brilliance is astounding - although sometimes it seems to go overboard into "musical athletics". But either way you will be floored by their talent and energy. Corea's unique flavor of jazz - elements of Latin, Asian, and all other sorts find their way into his playing. This is pure Chick, live.

This review is from: Alive (Audio CD)
Chick Corea playing jazz standards on acoustic piano in a trio format - that's hard to beat in my book. However, 67 used ones for sale tells me that not everyone is able to appreciate it.

Listen to the tracks, they speak for themselves.
