He is known for his work during the 1970s in the genre of [[jazz fusion]]. He participated in the birth of the electric fusion movement as a member of [[Miles Davis]]' band in the 1960s, and in the 1970s formed [[Return to Forever]]. He continued to pursue other collaborations and explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He is also known for promoting [[Scientology]].<ref name=allaboutjazz>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=All About Jazz| Chick Corea interview | date= | publisher= | url =http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=15351 | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2008-03-24 | language = }}</ref> ==Life and career== ===Youth=== Corea was born in [[Chelsea, Massachusetts]]. He is of [[Italian people|Italian]] and [[Spanish people|Spanish]] descent. His father Armando, a jazz [[trumpet]] player who had led a [[Dixieland]] band in the [[Boston]] area 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]] stars such as [[Dizzy Gillespie]], [[Charlie Parker]], [[Bud Powell]], [[Horace Silver]] and [[Lester Young]]. At eight Corea also took up [[drum]]s, which would later influence his use of the piano as a percussion instrument. His Boston area heritage can be heard in his introduction of "Nefertiti" on [[Circle - Paris Concert]] as a [[Wayne Shorter]] composition. Corea developed his piano skills by exploring music on his own. A notable influence was concert pianist Salvatore Sullo from whom Corea started taking lectures at age eight, who introduced him to [[classical music]], helping spark his interest in [[musical composition]]. He also spent several years as a performer and soloist for The Knights of St. Rose, a Drum & Bugle Corp based in Chelsea.{{Fact|date=March 2007}} Given a black [[tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo]] by his father, he started doing gigs when in high school. He enjoyed listening to [[Herb Pomeroy]]'s band at the time, and had a trio which would play [[Horace Silver]]'s music at a local jazz club. He collaborated with [[Portugal|Portuguese]] bandleader and trumpet player [[Phil Barboza]], and with [[conga]] drummer [[Bill Fitch (musician)|Bill Fitch]] who introduced him to [[Latin music]]: <blockquote> I liked the "extraversion" of Latin music, especially the dance and [[salsa (music)|salsa]] style music - bands like [[Tito Puente]]'s band and [[Machito]]'s band. The [[Cuba]]n dance music was a great kind of antidote to some of the more serious, heady jazz that I was into. I liked the "outgoingness" and exuberance of the music. I just stayed interested in all kinds of Latin music. Then I discovered Spanish Latin music, which is [[flamenco]]. </blockquote> He eventually decided to move to [[New York City|New York]] where he took up musical education for one month at [[Columbia University]] and six months at [[The Juilliard School]] (among his Juilliard teachers was [[Peter Schickele]], who described Chick as "the most awake student [he] ever taught"). He quit after finding both disappointing, but liked the atmosphere of New York where the musical scene became the starting point for his professional career. [[Image:Now He Sings, Now He Sobs.jpg|thumb|''[[Now He Sings, Now He Sobs]]'' (1968)]] ===Early career=== Corea started his professional career in the [[1960s|'60s]] playing with [[trumpet]]er [[Blue Mitchell]] and [[Latin American music|Latin]] greats such as [[Herbie Mann]], [[Willie Bobo]] and [[Mongo Santamaria]]. One of the earliest recordings of his playing is with Blue Mitchell's quintet on ''The Thing To Do''. This album features his composition "Chick's Tune", a clever retooling of "You Stepped Out of a Dream" that demonstrates the angular melodies and Latin-and-swing rhythms that characterize, in part, Corea's personal style. (Incidentally, the same tune features a drum solo by a very young [[Al Foster]].) His first album as a leader was ''Tones For Joan's Bones'' in 1966, two years before the release of his album ''[[Now He Sings, Now He Sobs]]'', with [[Roy Haynes]] on [[drums]], and [[Miroslav Vitouš]] on [[double bass|bass]]. He made another sideman appearance with [[Stan Getz]] on 1967's ''Sweet Rain'' ([[Verve Records]]). ===Avant garde period=== From 1968 to 1971 Chick Corea had associations with [[avant garde]] players; and his solo style revealed a dissonant, avant garde orientation. His avant garde playing can be heard on his solo works of the period, his solos in live recordings under the leadership of [[Miles Davis]], his recordings with [[Circle (jazz band)|Circle]], and his playing on [[Joe Farrell]], "Song of the Wind", on the [[CTI]] label. In September 1968, Corea replaced [[Herbie Hancock]] in the piano chair in Davis' band and appeared on landmark albums such as ''[[Filles de Kilimanjaro]]'', ''[[In a Silent Way]]'' and ''[[Bitches Brew]]''. In concert, Davis' [[rhythm section]] of Corea, [[Dave Holland]] and [[Jack DeJohnette]] combined elements of [[free jazz]] improvisation and [[rock music]]. With the Davis band, Corea experimented using electric instruments, mainly the [[Fender Rhodes]] electric piano. In live performance he often used [[ring modulation]] of the electric piano, producing overtones reminiscent of [[Karlheinz Stockhausen]]. Using this style, he appeared on multiple Davis albums, including ''[[Black Beauty: Miles Davis at Fillmore West]]'' and ''[[Miles Davis at Fillmore: Live at the Fillmore East]].'' His live performances with the Miles Davis band continued into 1970. Holland and Corea left to form their own group, [[Circle (jazz band)|Circle]], active between 1970-1971. This [[free jazz]] group featured multi-reed player [[Anthony Braxton]], bassist [[Dave Holland]] and drummer [[Barry Altschul]]. This band was documented on [[Blue Note]] and [[ECM (record label)|ECM]]. Aside from soloing in an atonal style, Corea sometimes reached in the body of the piano and plucked the strings. In 1971 or 1972, Corea struck out on his own. "The concept of communication with an audience became a big thing for me at the time. The reason I was using that concept so much at that point in my life –in 1968, 1969 or so- was because it was a discovery for me. I grew up kind of only thinking how much fun it was to tinkle on the piano and not noticing that what I did had an effect on others. I did not even think about a relationship to an audience, really, until way later."<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Chick Corea Interview on ArtistInterviews| date= | publisher= | url =http://www.artistinterviews.eu/?page_id=6&parent_id=22 | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2008-03-28 | language = }}</ref> ===Jazz fusion=== [[Image:My Spanish Heart.jpg|thumb|Posing in a stylish outfit on the cover of the [[Spain|Spanish]]-flaired 1976 album ''[[My Spanish Heart]]''.]] In the early 1970s, Corea took a profound stylistic turn from avant garde playing to a crossover [[jazz fusion]] style that incorporated Latin jazz elements. In 1971, he founded [[Return to Forever]]. This band had a fusion sound, that while relying on electronic instrumentation, drew more on [[Brazil]]ian and [[Spanish-American]] musical styles than on rock music. On its first two records, Return to Forever featured [[Flora Purim]]'s vocals, the [[Fender Rhodes]] electric piano, and [[Joe Farrell]]'s [[flute]] and [[soprano saxophone]]. [[Airto Moreira]] played drums. Corea's compositions for this group often had a Brazilian tinge. In 1972, Corea played many of the early Return to Forever songs in a group he put together for Stan Getz; this group, with [[Stanley Clarke]] on bass and [[Tony Williams]] on drums, recorded the [[Columbia Records|Columbia label]] album ''[[Captain Marvel (album)|Captain Marvel]]'' under Getz's name. In the next year, the band moved more in the direction of rock music influenced by the [[Mahavishnu Orchestra]]. Only Clarke remained from the group's first lineup; [[Bill Connors]] played electric guitar and [[Lenny White]] played drums. No one replaced vocalist Purim. (Briefly, in 1977, Corea's wife, [[Gayle Moran]], served as vocalist in the band.) In 1974 [[Al Di Meola]] joined the band, replacing Connors. In this second version of Return to Forever, Corea extended the use of [[synthesizer]]s, particularly [[Moog synthesizer|Moog]]s. The group released its final studio record in 1977. Thereafter, Corea focused on solo projects. {{sample box start variation 1|Audio samples:}} {{Listen|filename=Chick Corea Spain.ogg|title=''Spain''|description=Composed in 1971, a fusion of latin and modern jazz - 2.96 MB|format=[[Ogg]]}} {{sample box end}} Corea's composition "[[Spain (composition)|Spain]]" first appeared on the 1972 Return to Forever album ''[[Light as a Feather]]''. This is probably his most popular piece, and it has been recorded by a variety of artists (notably [[Al Jarreau]]). There are also a variety of subsequent recordings by Corea himself in various contexts, including an arrangement for piano and symphony orchestra that appeared in 1999. Corea usually performs "Spain" with a prelude based on [[Joaquin Rodrigo|Joaquin Rodrigo's]] ''[[Concierto de Aranjuez]]'' (1940), which earlier received a jazz orchestration on Miles Davis' and [[Gil Evans]]' "[[Sketches of Spain]]". In 1976 he issued ''[[My Spanish Heart]]'', influenced by [[Latin American music]] and featuring vocalist Moran and electronic violinist [[Jean-Luc Ponty]]. ===Duet collaboration with Gary Burton=== In the 1970s, Corea started working occasionally with [[vibraphone|vibraphonist]] [[Gary Burton]], with whom he recorded several duet albums on ECM, including 1972's ''[[Crystal Silence]]''. They reunited in 2006 for a concert tour. A new record called ''[[The New Crystal Silence]]'' was issued shortly into 2008. The package includes a disc of duets and another disc featuring the Sydney Symphony. ===Later work=== [[Image:Béla Fleck and Chick Corea 2, March 1, 2008.jpg|thumb|Corea performs with [[Béla Fleck]], March 1, 2008]] His other bands include the [[Chick Corea Elektric Band|Elektric Band]], the [[Akoustic Band]], and [[Origin (jazz band)|Origin]]. The Akoustic Band released a self-titled album in 1989, and featured [[John Patitucci]] on bass and [[Dave Weckl]] on drums. It marked a turn back toward traditional jazz in Corea's career, and the bulk of his subsequent recordings have been acoustic ones. The Akoustic Band also provided the music for the 1986 Pixar short [[Luxo Jr.]] with their song ''The Game Maker''. In 1992, he started his own record label, [[Stretch Records]]. In 2001, the [[Chick Corea New Trio]], with [[Avishai Cohen]] and [[Jeff Ballard (musician)|Jeff Ballard]] on bass and drums respectively, released the album ''[[Past, Present & Futures]]''. Notably, the 11-song album includes only one standard composition ([[Fats Waller|Fats Waller's]] "Jitterbug Waltz"). The rest of the tunes are Corea originals. He also participated in 1998's ''[[Like Minds (Gary Burton album)|Like Minds]]'', which features [[Gary Burton]] on vibes, [[Pat Metheny]] on guitar, [[Dave Holland]] on bass and [[Roy Haynes]] on drums. Recent years have also seen Corea's rising interest in [[contemporary classical music]]. He composed his first [[piano concerto]] &mdash; and an adaptation of his [[signature song|signature piece]], ''Spain'' for a full symphony orchestra &mdash; and performed it in 1999 with the [[London Philharmonic Orchestra]]. Five years later he composed his first work not to feature any keyboards: His ''[[String quartet|String Quartet]] No. 1'', specifically written for and performed by the highly acclaimed [[Orion String Quartet]] on 2004's [[Summerfest]]. Corea has continued releasing jazz fusion [[concept album]]s such as ''To the Stars'' (2004) and ''Ultimate Adventure'' (2006). The latter album won the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group]]. ==Scientology as artistic inspiration== Under the "special thanks" notes, found in all of his later albums, Corea mentions that the author [[L. Ron Hubbard]], founder of the [[Scientology]] movement, has been a continual source of inspiration. In 1968 Corea discovered ''[[Dianetics]]'', Hubbard's principal work, and in the early 1970s developed an interest in Hubbard's [[science fiction]] novels. The two exchanged letters until Hubbard's death in 1986, and Corea even did some work on music Hubbard had written, noting, "[Hubbard] was a great composer and keyboard player as well. He did many, many things. He was a true [[renaissance man|Renaissance Man]]."<ref name=allaboutjazz/> Scientology became a profound influence on Corea's musical direction in the early 1970s. :''I no longer wanted to satisfy myself. I really want to connect with the world and make my music mean something to people.'' (''[[Down Beat]]'', [[October 21]], [[1976]], p.47) Corea created some of his Return to Forever compositions in collaboration with Neville Potter, a friend whom he had met through Scientology. Some of the other members of Return to Forever also took Scientology courses, and the name Return to Forever itself was, in Corea's words, "definitely influenced by the Hubbard's philosophy of the spirit. [...] It sort of nailed the spiritual intent of the music, {{interp|that it should}} be pure."{{citequote}} Many of his songs contain explicit references to Scientology and various works by Hubbard. For example, "What Games Shall We Play Today?" refers to the philosophical concept in Scientology that life consists of "[[Game (Scientology)|games]]" in which the objective is to extract joy and satisfaction. His 2004 album ''[[To the Stars]]'' is a [[tone poem]] based on Hubbard's science fiction novel of the same name. His latest album, ''The Ultimate Adventure,'' is also based on a Hubbard novel. In 1998 Chick Corea and fellow entertainers [[Anne Archer]], [[Isaac Hayes]], and [[Haywood Nelson]] attended the 30th anniversary of ''[[Freedom Magazine]]'', the [[Church of Scientology]]'s [[investigative journalism|investigative news]] journal, at the [[National Press Club (USA)|National Press Club]] in [[Washington, DC]], to honor 11 [[human rights]] activists.<ref>[http://antonnews.com/mineolaamerican/1998/10/23/news/ Haywood You Remember Garden City Park<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Not all musicians he has collaborated with have been content with his views.
