Chick Corea was an American jazz composer, arranger, keyboardist, percussionist, bandleader and recording artist of southern Italian descent. Born on June 12, 1941 in Chelsea, Boston, Massachusetts, he was a prolific musician who played various genres including Bebop, Post Bop, Free Jazz, Latin Jazz and Crossover. He became known for his contributions to Jazz Rock and Fusion in the 1970s as both a solo artist and member of bands such as Return to Forever and Circle.

In his youth, Chick Corea marched as a lead soprano bugle soloist in a drum and bugle corps called St. Rose Scarlet Lancers of Chelsea. Influenced by bebop music, he started his professional career in the early 60s and recorded his first album in 1966 (not released until 1968). His well-received trio Post Bop album "Now He Sings Now He Sobs" with drummer Roy Haynes and bass player Miroslav Vitous marked the beginning of his groundbreaking musical journey.

Throughout his career, Chick Corea explored various styles of music including Latin American acoustic and electronic music as well as classical influences. He utilized instruments such as piano, electric piano and Minimoog to create innovative fusion sounds. His dedication to touring, recording and collaborating with numerous musicians earned him recognition with 25 Emmys. Tragically passing away from cancer on February

The latest addition to Chick Corea's remarkable discography is Chick Corea Akoustic Band Live, the long-anticipated reunion of his beloved Akoustic Band with bassist John Patitucci and drummer Dave Weckl, together as a trio for the first time in more than two decades. Under any circumstances, these thrilling live recordings would be a welcome addition to Corea's prodigious discography. With the news of his passing still so fresh in listeners' minds, its release comes as an opportunity for fans to bid farewell while cherishing the communal energy and playful vigor that made the pianist a favourite of jazz lovers around the world for nearly 60 years.

Live, the 2-CD / 3-LP set was recorded January 13, 2018 at SPC Music Hall in St. Petersburg, Florida. The trio's intricate interplay and highwire jousting reflects more than 30 years of collaboration between Corea's Akoustic and Elektric Bands and serves as a celebratory reminder of Corea's singular genius, with more than two hours of inspired playing and spirited camaraderie.
