Chick Corea

Biography

Chick Corea continues to be one of many jazzmen because the ’60s. Not really content anytime to relax on his laurels, he continues to be involved in a number of important musical tasks, and his musical interest hasn’t dimmed. A masterful pianist who, alongside Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett, was among the best stylists to emerge after Costs Evans and McCoy Tyner, Corea can be mostly of the electric keyboardists to become quite specific and recognizable on synthesizers. Furthermore, he has constructed several jazz criteria, including “Spain,” “La Fiesta,” and “Home windows.” Corea started playing piano when he was four and, in early stages, Horace Sterling silver and Bud Powell had been influences. He found important experience using the rings of Mongo Santamaria and Willie Bobo (1962-1963), Blue Mitchell (1964-1966), Herbie Mann, and Stan Getz. He produced his documenting debut being a head with 1966’s Shades for Joan’s Bone fragments, and his 1968 trio discharge (with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes) Today He Sings, Right now He Sobs is known as a classic. Following a brief stint with Sarah Vaughan, Corea became a member of Kilometers Davis as Herbie Hancock’s progressive replacement, sticking to Davis throughout a essential transitional period (1968-1970). He was persuaded from the trumpeter to start out playing electrical piano, and was on such significant albums as Filles de Kilimanjaro, Inside a Silent Method, Bitches Brew, and Kilometers Davis in the Fillmore. When he remaining Davis, Corea initially thought we would play avant-garde acoustic jazz in Group, a quartet with Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland, and Barry Altschul. But by the end of 1971, he transformed directions again. Departing Circle, Corea performed briefly with Stan Getz and formed Go back to Forever, which began like a melodic Brazilian group with Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell, Airto, and Flora Purim. Inside a yr, Corea (with Clarke, Expenses Connors, and Lenny White colored) had transformed Go back to Forever right into a pace-setting and high-powered fusion music group; Al DiMeola had taken Connors’ put in place 1974. As the music was rock-oriented, it still maintained the improvisations of jazz, and Corea continued to be quite recognizable, also beneath the barrage of consumer electronics. When RTF split up in the past due ’70s, Corea maintained the name for a few big-band schedules with Clarke. Through the next couple of years, he generally emphasized his acoustic playing and made an appearance in a multitude of contexts, including split duet travels with Gary Burton and Herbie Hancock, a quartet with Michael Brecker, trios with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes, tributes to Thelonious Monk, and also some traditional music. In 1985, Chick Corea produced a fresh fusion group, the Elektric Music group, which eventually highlighted bassist John Patitucci, guitarist Frank Gambale, saxophonist Eric Marienthal, and drummer Dave Weckl. To balance his music, he produced his Akoustic Trio with Patitucci and Weckl a couple of years afterwards. When Patitucci went by himself in the first ’90s, the workers transformed, but Corea continuing leading stimulating groupings (including a quartet with Patitucci and Bob Berg). During 1996-1997, Corea toured with an all-star quintet (including Kenny Garrett and Wallace Roney) that performed modern variations of Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk compositions. He continues to be an important drive in contemporary jazz, and every stage of his advancement continues to be well noted on information. Corea started the 21st hundred years by releasing a set of single piano records, Single Piano: Originals and Single Piano: Criteria, in 2000, accompanied by Former, Present & Futures in 2001. Rendezvous in NY made an appearance in 2003, accompanied by To the Celebrities in 2004. THE BEST Adventure premiered in 2006. That same yr, Corea released Super Trio with drummer Steve Gadd and bassist Christian McBride. Within the springtime of 2007, Corea released an improbable but ultimately fulfilling duet recording with banjo expert Béla Fleck entitled The Enchantment on Concord, accompanied by a Common Japan-only six-disc package arranged known as Five Trios in 2008 that showcased the pianist in a small number of different trio configurations. The same yr, Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton released their 4th offering collectively, entitled THE BRAND NEW Crystal Silence. The entire year 2008 was a occupied one for Corea. He and John McLaughlin met up for the very first time given that they both performed on Kilometers Davis’ seminal Bitches Brew recording. They pulled collectively a music group with saxophonist Kenny Garrett, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, and bassist Christian McBride for the documenting Five Peace Music group: Live (with another previous Mls collaborator, Herbie Hancock, guesting on “Within a Silent Method/It’s ABOUT THIS Period”). Concord re-released Go back to Forever’s four albums released between 1973 and 1976 (with Corea, Light, Clarke, and DiMeola) — Hymn from the Seventh Galaxy, Where Possess I Known You Before, No Secret, and Intimate Warrior — being a precursor for the reunion tour. This led to both a live record, entitled Returns, along with a concert Dvd movie. In ’09 2009, Corea teamed with Japanese piano feeling Hiromi for Duet, accompanied by a live trio record entitled Forever with Clarke and Light, culled off their “RTF Unplugged” tour. The two-disc established, released by Concord in 2011, highlighted guest performances by Chaka Khan, primary RTF guitarist Connors, and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. In 2012, Corea was active right away. He shipped a trio documenting on Concord in January entitled Further Explorations; his sidemen had been Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian (both people of varied Evans ensembles). Corea: The Continents Concerto for Jazz Quintet and Chamber Orchestra was released by Deutsche Grammophone in Feb. In Sept, another duet documenting with Burton, Popular House, premiered by Concord. In the summertime of 2013, Corea debuted his fresh electric music group with the recording The Vigil. Its people included bassist Christian McBride (though Hadrien Feraud frequently plays using the group live), drummer Marcus Gilmore, Tim Garland on reeds and winds, and guitarist Charles Altura. The expansive three-disc Trilogy was documented live at halts all around the globe and, with bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Cutting tool, made an appearance in 2014. The pianist after that reunited with longtime friend Béla Fleck for the 2015 duet recording, Two, that was put together from over seven many years of their live shows together. The next yr, Corea celebrated his 75th birthday having a six-week stint of displays in the Blue Notice in New york. Joined by way of a bevy of guests including Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, John McLaughlin, Stanley Clarke, among others, the shows had been released in 2017 within the Musician recording and documentary task.
