Chick Corea (1941–2021) was a renowned American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader, celebrated for his innovative contributions to jazz fusion and acoustic jazz. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, he began playing piano at a young age and later studied music at the Juilliard School. Corea’s career took off in the 1960s when he joined Miles Davis's groundbreaking band, contributing to the influential album "Bitches Brew." He later formed his own groups, including Return to Forever, which blended jazz with rock, Latin, and classical elements, helping to define the jazz fusion genre.

His prolific output included classic albums such as "Light as a Feather," "My Spanish Heart," and "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs." Corea was known for his virtuosic technique and eclectic style, incorporating a wide range of influences from classical music to world rhythms. Over his career, Corea received numerous accolades, including 23 Grammy Awards and an NEA Jazz Masters award. He was also a passionate advocate for music education and creativity, inspiring countless musicians worldwide. Corea's legacy continues to influence jazz and beyond, marking him as one of the most significant figures in modern music history.
