The KCCK Featured Album for May is “Forever Yours” by Chick Corea. The disc captures highlights from two solo-piano concerts given just four months before the jazz icon’s passing. The performances in Clearwater, Florida, would be the last public concerts Corea ever gave. The recordings stand as a deeply affecting goodbye and a definitive document of Corea’s solo piano experience. “Forever Yours” is from Candid Records. Purchase
