Remembering the great Chick Corea today on his birthday! 🧁💥🎶😻 Chick Corea (1941–2021) was a legendary American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader. As a pioneer of electric jazz-rock fusion in the 1960s and 1970s, he defined the genre with groups like Return to Forever. Across a prolific six-decade career, he won 27 Grammy Awards and composed enduring standards like "Spain". The Leopards had the honor of performing "Spain" in 2007 in NYC as he watched from backstage. 🥰
