Who is this 'Chick' anyway.....well, he's cool. WIKIPEDIA says he's " is an American jazz and fusion pianist, keyboardist, and composer." I know that he had his own band called 'Into Forever', that he created in the '70's....that's who's doing 'Spain' on the link above, I bet, that's his most well-known tune . I'll look up more for this post.
Corea was born in the U.S.A., his father was a jazz trumpeter. So, As a child, Chick' was exposed to alot of jazz by his father. When he was 4 years old he started the piano and later [8] the drums. He learned to use the piano as a percussion instrument. Steve says Corea's tunes have a 'pulse' to them..' the pulse on the bass is not on ones, it's ands."...whatever that means?{Jan] You musicians will know. O.K? Most of his stuff has a 'latin' sound to it, that I really like...it's again, Jan.
Corea played gigs in high school, wearing an old tuxedo that his father gave him...He played HORACE SILVER's and HERE stuff in a trio at a local [New York] jazz club. An early recording of his was a album with BLUE MITCHELL, it features Chick's tune ' You Stepped Out of a Dream' [thanks 1blue1]....I'll try and find a copy and post it.
I read he's won aleast one GRAMMY, and I personality love all his stuff with BELLA FLECK and HERE and BOBBY McFERRIN and HERE . I'll post some music video links below and feature the video 'Spain'.from luchozepp. Here's the only thing that the video page says:"Uploaded on Jul 27, 2008
