Wow. Joe Zawinul died rather suddenly of a rare kind of cancer, too.

Time to break out a memorial listening of CC's ouvres, since he has returned to forever.

How tragic and surprisingly. I've been a frequent follower of Chick on Instagram and up until very recently (weeks?) he had been posting quite often with tons of videos and teachings etc. He looked so alive and vibrant!

I only saw him live once and it was when I was in high school in the early 80s. He was performing with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia. He was absolutely prolific! Big loss for music...

Well shit, from his FB page

It is with great sadness we announce that on February 9th, Chick Corea passed away at the age of 79, from a rare form of cancer which was only discovered very recently.
Throughout his life and career, Chick relished in the freedom and the fun to be had in creating something new, and in playing the games that artists do.
He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather, and a great mentor and friend to so many. Through his body of work and the decades he spent touring the world, he touched and inspired the lives of millions.
Though he would be the first to say that his music said more than words ever could, he nevertheless had this message for all those he knew and loved, and for all those who loved him:
“I want to thank all of those along my journey who have helped keep the music fires burning bright. It is my hope that those who have an inkling to play, write, perform or otherwise, do so. If not for yourself then for the rest of us. It’s not only that the world needs more artists, it’s also just a lot of fun.
“And to my amazing musician friends who have been like family to me as long as I’ve known you: It has been a blessing and an honor learning from and playing with all of you. My mission has always been to bring the joy of creating anywhere I could, and to have done so with all the artists that I admire so dearly—this has been the richness of my life.”
Chick’s family will of course appreciate their privacy during this difficult time of loss.
