Chick Corea clowns around in Coe bandmaster Bill Carson’s office before his Acoustic Band performed at the college in 1994. (No, he didn’t play Bill’s clarinet at the show)
Legendary pianist and composer Chick Corea passed away February 9 after a battle with cancer. He appeared in the Corridor many times, most recently in 2019 with his Trilogy Trio at Hancher in what would be his final tour.
In 2010, he played a solo piano gig at the Englert. Prior to the concert, he had a relaxed and wide-ranging chat with KCCK’s Gordon Paulsen. Chick talked about the intimacy of a solo piano concert, the anniversary of one of his seminal early works, and much more.
