"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," an announcement from his official Facebook page reads.

That is sad. He was married to Gayle Moran for almost fifty years.

I just looked it up. 23 - yes, twenty-three - Grammy awards.

RIP, Chick Corea. I remember him from Return to Forever.

I have several LPs by Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola and Jean Luc Ponty, as well. I saw Al Di Meola in concert, probably early 80s, as well as Weather Report.
