Chick Corea
Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (born June 12, 1941) is an American jazz and fusion pianist, keyboardist, and composer.
Many of his compositions are considered jazz standards. As a member of Miles Davis' band in the late 1960s, he participated in the birth of the electric jazz fusion movement. In the 1970s he formed Return to Forever. Along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Keith Jarrett, he has been described as one of the major jazz piano voices to emerge in the post-John Coltrane era.
Corea continued to pursue other collaborations and to explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He is also known for promoting and fundraising for a number of social issues.
Life and career
Youth
Armando Corea was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He is of southern Italian and Spanish descent. His father, a jazz trumpet player who had led a Dixieland band in Boston in the 1930s and 1940s, introduced him to the piano at the age of four. Growing up surrounded by jazz music, he was influenced at an early age by bebop and stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Horace Silver, and Lester Young. At eight Corea also took up drums, which would later influence his use of the piano as a percussion instrument.

Sometime Ago
by: Chick CoreaSometime ago
I had a dream
It was happy it was lasting it was free
And now in life
Oh can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality
And all the music
it was playing
and all the firelight
it was dancing
And all the children
they were singing
And all the people
they were loving
Sometime ago
I had a dream
It was happy it was lasting it was free
And now in life
Oh can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality
And all the morning sun
it was soft and cool
All the evening breeze
it was warm and gold
All together life had started to unfold
