With everything else going on last week, I didn’t have a chance to acknowledge the passing of keyboard legend Chick Corea. Of course, improvisation is what he did best, but he also left his imprint on the classics. Here’s a little Sunday afternoon playlist.
Corea performs Mozart with Friedrich Gulda
The same piece played, live in concert, with Keith Jarrett
Chick putting his own spin on Chopin
The “Corea Concerto”
Corea plays a selection from his “Children’s Songs”
His career spanned over half a century. He was 79 years-old. R.I.P.
