Not a household name but one of my favourite jazz pianists has died from cancer aged 79. I saw him play several times with several different bands, the best was with Return to Forever .. like this .. https://youtu.be/ru6E_OOX0NU

    RIP Chick. I loved the RTF album 1972 then the albums that followed with that powerhouse quartet. Some music is ordained from a higher place and that certainly applies to Chick Corea. If I had to choose one album it would have to be 'Where have I known you before?' my personal soundtrack for 1974!

    Well, this is utterly gutting news. I've had Return to Forever playing for a while. Light As A Feather is a truly brilliant album. I always wished I could play like he does and I'm so sad he has passed.

    RIP.

    Here's Chick playing Spain with Hiromi Uehara - a truly spellbinding exploration of what sort of soundscape two pianos and two master pianists can produce, followed by some wonderful duetting:
