That is terrible news RIP Chick Corea.
Saw him in concert with Herbie Hancock in 2015 and had the audience singing along in 3 different parts like a choir which was inspiring. He made a comment that jazz audiences were good at singing in tune!
His music really made me think. I liked the middle eastern influence in a lot of his jazz fusion. Also his work with Weather Report.
I have a lot more listening to do of his music. It is sad that he is no longer with us

I was so saddened to hear about his passing...His musicianship is still and was an enormous influence on my direction for pedal steel improvisations...After I recorded his epic "Spain" in the mid 70's I sent his publishing company a copy as is respectfully sent to the composer when their songs are recorded... Chick was so kind to respond to me personally which was totally unexpected...He went much farther than the song and encouraged me to stay the course saying he had no idea pedal steel could be played at this level...All of this to say while he was at the top of his game - setting the standards for Jazz Fusion he was also paying back to the community of musicians... I was just a sideman for Country artists and in the midst of his incredible career he took the time to inspire a young musician. It is my belief that his mark on the world of musicians is right up there with Parker, Dizzy, Miles, Evans, Coltrane, etc...What a jam session they will have...May God bless all of his family!

I went from Pre-Jan Hammer Jeff Beck into Mahavishnu with Hammer, and Chick and later Herbie, in that order. I came back to acoustic jazz via fusion and always had that electric thing happening. He was a major influence rhythmically and harmonically.
I am sure I saw Chick more than any other single jazz artist. Last time was The Electric Band at Bottom Line in NYC and it was a fantastic show.
He is at the top level of jazz composers and pianist on the forever list.
RIP Maestro.

Real happiness has no strings attached.
