Why last performances? Music lovers like to listen to an artist's BEST performances regardless of where in their career they're from. 50 years from now, if we still have a viable civilization, yes, i too believe these artists will still be admired. However, it's anybody's guess what situation will prevail in 200 years or more when it comes to people's tastes. I remember listening to an interview on NPR with a guy who has studied this phenomenon of celebrities and artists everybody knew about in their time, who had sunk in a temporary anonymity after their demise or have forever remained unknown. After all, Shakespeare's greatness was newly discovered about a hundred years after his death. When he died in 1750, J.S. Bach and most of his music were all but forgotten. It was only in 1829 that Mendelssohn reintroduced Bach's genius to the world.

Back in the early 70s, a new club opened up down the street from my apartment in East Lansing. My friend and I decided to check it out. We came in and there was almost no one in the place yet, so we took a table right in front of the where the band's instruments were set up. More people came in and took their tables. Four musicians came out; a bass player, a drummer/percussionist, a guitarist, and a piano player. We didn't know who these people were and had never heard of 'fusion jazz' before. They were Chick Corea and Return to Forever (without Flora Purim). It was one of the most magical musical experiences of my life. We were completely blown away. I've been a fan ever since.

Bar called the Stables if I recall - we were so blown away we came a couple nights in a row - got to experience some greats at the Stables and other spots in East Lansing during that time - but “ Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy” was fresh , new and VERY ELECTRIC- Chick, Stanley; Lenny White and Bill Connors - very relatable in that bar - perhaps 100-150 people there - motivated me to learn about Miles and his “tree” - all the bands that came from Miles - Weather Report, Mahavishnu, Return to Forever, Herbie’s Sextet and Headhunters. As much as I revered Zawinul and his world music, Chick seemed very approachable- like he could just be your buddy. Firstly, thanks to NPR for sharing all these small desk visits. Chick and Gary Burton , two contemporaries seemed to get to the very essence of Chick’s brilliance and his Spanish roots- Return to Forevers first ECM album including “crystal silence” heard here was a fundamental disc in forming my love, appreciation and fervor for Chick and his music - I am still stunned that he is gone , a year later - not sad - just deprived of what he could share with us going forward.

Ironically, they are the ones that have achieved financial stability, one of the aspirations of americans.

My pops took my brother and i, and our best friend dylan to one of their shows at some fancy concert hall in SoCal back in 2010 i think it was. We all ate a great deal of mushrooms on the way in. Although pops didnt partake, it was his idea. We had seats behind the stage. So everyone had a great view of us, and had no idea what they were in for nor did we. About 2 songs in, the fungus had started to take its affect. And we all at once realized why pops insisted we share this trip. Not only because it was a profound personal experience he had when he was our age, but that he got to watch us as we had the same epiphanies and gargantuan emotional rollercoaster of a trip he shared with his brothers. It was perfect, we cried, we danced and partied like we were at a dead show. We discusted most of the crowd, until after the last song, Chick turned around and pointed and gave us a very deliberate and obvious gesture of gratitude towards our attitude throughout their performance. I looked at pops for a sober party comfermatiom of what we had just witnessed, and he was crying. And Chick gave pops the same gesture of gratitude. It was the perfect trip and the perfect night, all to the tune of the perfect performance. A week later i took my dad to his first Phish show....

The world is a darker place without Chick Corea, one of--if not the--greatest jazz pianist/composers who ever lived.

I’m... I’m at a loss, devastated. You are such an inspiration. Your music is beyond amazing. “What making music for people does, I’ve observed, is it stimulates what’s natural in all of us,” you told Jazz Times in 2020. “It’s native sense, in every person. You don’t have to be a professional anything - all you need to do is be a living human being, and open to the play of imagination.” Your music brings me so much joy, happiness- “Spain”! “La Fiesta”! I learned how to play jazz through those charts. Your music has shaped my career, my passion; and I am truly grateful. As I’m sure that generations of musicians are. You will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace, Chick Corea!!

This has been a heartbreaking time span in every way, but for me, the passing of Chick, after the devastating news a few months ago, about Keith and his two strokes which have left him paralyzed on his left side, was just heartbreaking! These two giants of piano have been my inspiration-following Bill Evans’s initial impact on me (Bill made me a pianist because of two pieces-“Blue In Green” and “Flamenco Sketches”. These musical masterpieces turned me from vibes to piano) I spent 3 hours one-on-one with Bill-the most important time in music for me-but I also talked with Chick the two times I saw him live. Chick was such a marvelous, charming human being as well as a Master artist. It was an honor to have seen and talked to him! RIP, Chick! You will be sorely missed!😞

I am not even a jazz fan, but this is my second time watching this. I love music. It is obvious that I am watching masters of their craft.

I started my musical journey listening to Chick, Dave W, John P…etc Always an incredible musical experience

Steve Gadd was being interviewed by Rick Beato and spoke spoke about playing with Chick in New York in the early days. They all played together and were encouraged and influenced by all of their diversity. I’ve played many years and have gotten much satisfaction (most of the time). But Only a very few of musicians deep as deep as Chick Corea, Max Roach, Alvin Jones, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Steve Gadd. Music Was their life’s. And even though I’ve never or will never achieve anything close to the collective genius, I can enjoy the music they devoted their lives to create. It inspires me at work to focus and think.

Rest in peace. I saw them together live at Spoleto in SC in 2000. This is a sad day...his genius will be missed.

Love, joy, and the simple delights of friendship between two old friends, expressed in music. Words fail. Rest easy, Chick, and THANK YOU.

I love how humble Gary Burton is....this is truly fascinating...RIP Chick

In my mind, it's being able to renew a timeless piece like Crystal Silence each and every time you play it that really makes Jazz, Jazz. That constant renewal is the greatness of this duo and their individuality within music. So glad to be able to watch the masters in action again. Thank you for this recording.

I am also fighting back the tears. I'm just heartbroken. So much beautiful music - to fill our hearts for years to come.

I needed some healing vibes today. Ain't no vibes more healing than these.

Crystal Silence was the first Chick Corea album I ever bought back in 1977. Hard to believe it was the first tune he ever did with Gary Burton. I’ve listened hundreds of times and it still enthralls me. Hard to think of two absolute masters who belonged together more. Makes my heart ache to think Chick is gone.

44 years since they recorded Crystal Silence together and as brilliant now as they were then.

R.I.P. one of the greatest of all time. I really felt the loss when i heard the news. A vibrant man and musician.

Just gorgeous. Very sad day. Chick Corea will be missed. His music lives on.

I love this so much. Chick looks like it's as easy as if he were sitting down to have a cup of coffee. Effortless. And what a beautiful composition.

So sad to hear of the loss of one of our great musicians. Chick's music, artistry, mentorship and humanity will be sorely missed by me and so many. 🙏

Descansa en paz. Nunca olvidaremos lo qué fuiste y lo que nos dejaste.

I'm always amazed when two players of orchestral instruments can play with such grace and interest, and not step on each other's toes. Gary Burton invented the technique he, and now virtually any vibraphonist, uses. Thanks for this.

Musicians encounter many obstacles and this is not a particularly difficult one.

Great musicians!!..really it's a pleasure for your senses to hear this beautiful music...we miss you Chick!!

Mastery & Mystery…. They play together as extensions of each other. Maestros Both. It was my great fortune to see them play together Live. I’ll never forget it.

How on Earth does the vibraphone player hit those notes so quickly and cleanly? Amazing stuff from both.

You mean "Gary-Burton-the-best-vibraphonist-on-earth"? He's probably the actual inventor of the technique he uses.

Chick could play some vibes himself. There’s a video out there of Corea and Burton playing a duet, SHARING the vibes.

@@raphtx Not probably the inventor, literally the inventor - the way he holds the mallets is known as the Burton grip, and it's now very widely used by vibes players

As a pianist who can play a vibe decently, it’s all about knowing what keys you want to play as well as getting comfortable with your grip. It’s easy to play fast with two mallets, but hiking four is harder since there’s more to think about, both in regards to actual sticking and how to hold them in your hands.

smh. It's called practice, and gary burton is by no means the best vibraphonist.

Ok, OCCASIONALLY the algo does roght by me. This was amazing. Loved Chick's work since childhood

Sweet! What a treat, thanks to ALL involved!

R.I.P. Chick. You're music brought me and so many others joy. So glad I was privileged to see you play live in LA a few years back. Was looking forward to seeing another performance after covid. You'll be greatly missed.
