I play jazz piano and Chick has always been my greatest influence. Yes, there are legends like Bill Evans, Herbie, Monk, Keith Jarrett, Mehldau... but Chick was so inventive, from the use of modal/fourths in "Now he sings.." to Spain, to his trio work with the Akoustic band... I mean you name it. He also had impeccable taste when choosing the musicians he worked with. What a master, I will forever miss him.
we've witnessed how a giant practices. rest in peace chick. your music, your enormous contributions to music and your legacy will not be forgotten... i sometimes come here to fully comprehend that no one will ever reach your level. rip master
He was so humble, that he was never shy to show his mistakes, nor how he played classical music, even being criticized by some classical musicians. He loved music so much. And we love him. 🎉❤
For my students and others interested Timecodes for class 30:00 is composition lesson beginning 44:23 introduces composition to trio 48:10 Trio debates which Latin beat to use Bajon or Sanga (my bad for the spelling) 51:27 is discussion about what grooves best and instructions to get to the ENDING of the tune 53:10 a few seconds before visual cues begin signaling for "here comes the ending" 53:30 Chic's instructions for the drummer for the ending 54:10 Running the entire thing with choruses for piano head, bass solo and drum solo, piano solo and ending 59:50 Chic's final thoughts on developing skill, improving one's self, and life Cheers!!
i have watched Chick and John play together over and over and love their chemistry so getting to see them jam out a new tune together is just gold. the commentary between them is amazing...feeling special right now :)
My dad brought such a VHS tape from England, a red box and a booklet with notes and notations. It is important that the best musicians from the Chic Acoustic and electric bands are gathered here
I studied piano for over a decade but watching Chick here what differs most from my capabilities is not so much his fluid technique i am relatively decent with that, but it is his memory. As he learns a piece he easily writes what he learned like a pen on a white sheet of paper and it stays there for good ready to be played again perfectly. Somehow i have no been able to organize my mind to do that, memorizing is a long slow difficult process for me. It probably has something to do with lacking vizualizing my own body articulation and sensing fingers touch memory while playing. When i try to memorize i always feel like a blind man trying to cross a busy street or densely maze like market. I wished i knew how to relearn that and get that skill.
True Genius. Many thanks for all and everything you have given to the world. The Great Chick Corea Will be sadly missed but you're immense body of work Will forever be throughout eternity. Return to forever and ever and ever. Just had to pay tribute there. 😊
It's funny to see the new kids discovering Chick Corea, a guy that I fortunately discovered in the late 60s. Yes, he was always awesome, and my main influence. 😅😅😅
Most interesting thing in this is where they're discussing the groove of that latin-ish tune. the best choice would have been sort of an Afoxe. Tom Brechtlein sounds bananas. Deeper and groovier than the guy who replaced him shortly after, IMO. The SG licks and influence are a bit close for comfort though, lolol....
This is the real deal and on an entirely different level. Dirty loops is a great band they are without doubt inspired by the fusion era and bands like Chicks electric band.
@@fjzingo Yes. And thank God they are discovering, because most people only hear pop music from the big media. They have no clue what they are missing. And there are others discovering jazz, but only the new kids, like Cory Henry. They have no idea that Cory comes from Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others.
Unfortunately, Chick was a nearly-lifelong Scientologist. Luckily, he is one of the easiest "separate art from the artist" types. Undeniable musical genius, incredible pioneer, unsavory personal religious views lol.
@@brendanhirst201adding to this, chick first encountered scientology through a narcanon, a rehab facility sponsored by scientology. they would preach scientology in conjunction with the rehab. from what i can tell, chick had some substance problems in the 60’s, although i couldn’t find much as chick didn’t like to talk about it. However I did find a picture of him in 1967 posing at narcanon with a few other celebrities who needed help at the time. from chicks perspective, scientology helped him get out of this rough spot in his life, and maybe it actually did to an extent. but scientology has proven to be damaging to his relationships and it goes without saying that scientology is a bunch of grifters posing as a religion. in spite of this, chick is absolutely brilliant artist, and it seemed that he stoped by heavily advertising it after the 90s, although he still donated frequently unfortunately.
The humility to record himself making mistakes so that we all can see it is part of the process
He probably faked those mistakes lol
Well yeah, it's classical regurgitation. A completely different beast to jazz.
Yeah man! Still teaching us all through his Everlasting music!
😂@@JohnCane147
He is much better at improvising!

He is also my great influence. 🎉❤
Even Chick fumbled on Goldberg Variation, it speaks volumes about how hard these Bach pieces are.

T Lavitz with Scott Henderson and Gary Willis from Tribal Tech, and Greg Bissonette?? THAT's a hidden gem there.

Descansa en paz Chick …. Tu legado no será olvidado
It's good to see chick learn a song the same way I do, by trial and error

Great. Thanks for the upload.
A lot of Bachs compositions were on organ. Which has different fingering then piano, and also had very tricky fingering on his 2 and 3 part fugues.
Awesome, thanks.
And imagine he doin it from what year, how many hours with all patient , burn out & dedication
It helps to have the Master give me tips on how to learn to play His Solo Masterpiece of Srayhorn's Masterpiece Lush Life.
Gradient steps.
Yikes!
Holy shiiii….its Dirty Loops dads

@@DihelsonMendonca yep, reference points and perspective is kind of different. All ways of discovering good music are good…..

No offense, but if you did research about him, then maybe you'll understand. In other words, look him up.
