Friends is an album recorded and released by Chick Corea in 1978.
The album does away with the string and horn sections of previous albums, instead focusing on a quartet with straight-ahead jazz in mind. The album cover features the Smurfs; a somewhat rare alternative cover replaces the Smurfs with porcelain animals, possibly for copyright reasons.
This album is one of three that Corea released in 1978, along with The Mad Hatter and Secret Agent. 1978 also featured the release of live albums An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert and RTF Live with Return to Forever.
Friends was nominated for, and received the 1979 Grammy award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Group.
All pieces are composed by Chick Corea

Friends (With Benefits) is a 2009 romantic comedy film released on June 12, 2009 at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival.
The film stars Margaret Laney as Chloe and Alex Brown as Owen, lifelong best friends and current med school students. Rounding out their tight-knit group of friends are Anne Peterson as Allison, Jake Alexander as Jeff, Lynn Mancinelli as Shirley, Branden Bradley as Brad and Rooney Mara as Tara.
Taken off a script originally written by Gorman Bechard in 1999, the film was shopped around that summer under the title "Fuck Buddies" to every major studio in Hollywood. Inevitably the script was put on the back burner until Bechard started looking for a lighter followup to his extremely dark 2005 feature You Are Alone. In 2006 Bechard teamed with writing partner, Ashley McGarry and they began to rewrite the film, changing the title to "Friends (with Benefits)", and casting Margaret Laney in the lead role.
Production began in April 2007. The film was shot over 18 days in New Haven, Connecticut.
Ivo is a masculine given name, in use in various European languages (especially in Italian). The name used in western European languages originates as a Normannic name recorded since the High Middle Ages, and the French name Yves is a variant of it. The unrelated South Slavic name is a variant of the name Ivan (John).
The name is recorded from the High Middle Ages among the Normans of France and England (Yves of Chartres, born c. 1040). The name's etymology may be either Germanic or Celtic, in either case deriving from a given name with a first element meaning "yew" (Gaulish Ivo-, Germanic Iwa-). The name may have been spread by the cult of Saint Ivo (d. 1303), patron saint of Brittany.
The Slavic name is a hypocorism, like its variant Ivica.
Ivo has the genitive form of "Ives" in the place name St Ives. In France, the usual variation of the name is Yves. In the Hispanic countries of Latin America, the name is commonly spelled Evo.
Feminine equivalents of the name include Iva, Eva, and Yvette, amongst others.
