Biography

Chick Corea was an American jazz composer, arranger, keyboardist, percussionist, bandleader and recording artist of southern Italian descent, born June 12, 1941 in Chelsea, Boston, Massachusetts. This very prolific musician played anything from bebop, post bop, free jazz, Latin jazz and crossover to [a95546] and [a304968], as well as solo piano improvisations, including being one of those defining Jazz Rock and Fusion in the 1970s, both solo and in [a41893] and [a342265]. He acquired his nickname from an aunt who liked to address him as “Cheeky”. In his youth, he marched as a lead soprano bugle soloist in a drum and bugle corps: [a9280684] of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Influenced by bebop, he started his professional career in the early 60s, and recorded his first album in 1966 (not released until 1968). After very well received trio Post Bop album [m115075] with drummer [a255556] and bass player [a128396], he began recording a series of groundbreaking studio and live albums with [a23755] 1968-70, before making 3 albums with Free Jazz and Fusion quartet Circle, as well as 2 solo piano improvisation albums in 1971-72. In 1971 he released the first Return to Forever album, and the band went from making Latin American acoustic and electronc music to a more Jazz Rock oriented approach during the decade. At the same time, Corea continued to explore Latin American and classical music, fusion and jazz, using mainly piano, electric piano and Minimoog. For the rest of his life, he kept on touring, recording and collaborating with numerous musicians, and was awarded 25 Emmys. Chick Corea died from cancer on February 9, 2021 in Tampa, Florida. He was married to vocalist [a253240].

LYRICS

Yesterday, just a photograph of yesterday
And all it's edges folded and the corners faded, sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love
A postscript to it's ending
Brighter days, I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know it's for good
This time for good
And we're lovers once again
And you're near me

I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground

In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I got a picture of all our yesterdays
Yesterday, I can say. I got a kick everytime I see
That Spain again

I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground

Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and songs were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning

I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I got a picture of all our yesterdays
Yesterday, I can say. I got a kick everytime I see
You gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine
And they dance to the melody
And we live again, as if dreaming

The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we know their meaning
