Today’s brief post is an homage to Chick Corea, one of the great jazz pianists, who passed away in 2021. I was fortunate to catch Chick’s concert with the Oregon Symphony about a year before his death. Still spry in his late 70s, wearing tennis shoes, and refreshingly humble, he wowed the audience with his playing, which included an improvisatory rendition of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.| Portland Piano Lab
