Chick Corea: A master, who wished to stay a student
A concert dedicated to the legendary jazzman Chick Corea will be held in Yerevan, at the House of Architects. Armenian State Jazz Orchestra, led by the Artistic Director and conductor Armen Hyusnunts, will present famous pieces by Chick Corea arranged specially for the orchestra.
Chick Corea was a master, who wished to stay a student... It's impossible to imagine jazz without him.
Armando Corea was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to parents Anna (née Zaccone) and Armando J. Corea. Corea began his professional career in the early 1960s with Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Blue Mitchell, Herbie Mann, and Stan Getz. He recorded his debut album, Tones for Joan's Bones, in 1966 (released in 1968). Two years later he released a trio album, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, with Roy Haynes and Miroslav Vitous. In live performances, he frequently processed the output of his electric piano with a device called a ring modulator. Using this style, he appeared on multiple Miles Davis albums, including Black Beauty: Live at the Fillmore West, and Miles Davis at Fillmore: Live at the Fillmore East.
Corea continued to collaborate frequently while exploring different musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He won 25 Grammy Awards and was nominated over 60 times․
