In This Issue
- Chick Corea (1941–2021): “The Joy of Creating” ║ By Ted Panken
- DownBeat pays tribute to one of the most revered musicians of his generation. He was born Armando Anthony Corea in Chelsea, Massachusetts, but he was known around the world by his nickname, “Chick.” Our cover story traces the arc of his long, fruitful career. Also, throughout this issue, we celebrate the life and music of an artist who helped shape the direction of modern jazz.
- John Patitucci: Sustained Intensity ║ By Ed Enright
- Beyond his high-profile work with Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter, bassist Patitucci has been an important presence on the New York scene since he moved back to the city from the West Coast more than 25 years ago.
- John Santos: “The Roots Are Still Firm” ║ By Dave Cantor
- Percussionist and bandleader Santos has a foundation in what he refers to as “traditional” music, but has played and recorded with figures from across the spectrum of Latin music, jazz and rock.
- Bindfold Test: Chick Corea ║ By Yoshi Kato
- In this previously unpublished Blindfold Test, conducted in August 2005, we honor the memory of pianist Chick Corea. Backstage at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, California — prior to a duo concert with Bobby McFerrin — Corea commented on interpretations of his own compositions.
