Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (1941 - 2021) was, and continues to be, a huge influence on how I view jazz, jazz performance and composition. This is my small tribute to a hero of mine. It’s not a jazz piece, there are no improvised sections and there’s no attempt to copy either Chick’s compositional or improvisational style, and I don’t quote from (as far as I’m aware, but possibly subconsciously) any of Chick’s music. It’s me thinking about Chick and his music and reflecting on how it’s been part of my life ever since I went to college
to study jazz.
