Cu trei ani în urmă înceta din viață, pierzînd lupta cu o formă foarte rară de cancer, unul dintre cei mai valoroși compozitori și pianiști de jazz ai tuturor timpurilor:
Armando Anthony „Chick” Corea.

„Jazzul, vreau să zic jazzul pur, asemenea muzicii clasice, este, pentru mine, prea încărcat emoțional, prea exigent din punct de vedere intelectual.” Chic Corea (1941-2021) |
„The great Chick Corea has left this life but the incredible music he gave us and the meaningful memories will live on in my mind forever. Joining Return to Forever was for me a dream come true. Chick was my favorite musician and RTF was my favorite band when I was 19 years old. It was a non stop groundbreaking musical journey. We were at the forefront of a new idiom called Jazz-Rock Fusion along with WEATHER REPORT and MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. An extremely exciting time the mid 70’s were! Thank you, dear Chick for the legacy you gave to the world and for believing in me and giving me the chance to play with you, my hero!
Rest In Peace.”
