A prolific explorer of jazz and classical music, 16-time Grammy winner and undisputed keyboard virtuoso Chick Corea has attained living legend status after four decades of unparalleled creativity and an artistic output that is simply staggering. From straight ahead to avant-garde, bebop to fusion, and children's songs to chamber music, along with some far-reaching forays into symphonic works, Corea has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his illustrious career, all while maintaining a standard of excellence that is awe inspiring. The Musician is a wonderful 3LP retrospective which finds Chick's finest compositions - encompassing his most iconic bands and artistic partnerships - lovingly rerecorded live over the course of a one month residency at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City in 2011.
