A truly remarkable talent and creator of some incredible driving music.

 

Fusion-Jazz era.

RIP.

 

Back in school I can remember Chick and Spiro Gyra the same night.
What an incredible show.

 

Never heard of them. Thanks for the post Jerry. Music I could love and music my wife hates (don't ask me why). That was great. I listened to the entire video (16 min). My friend Jim and I really enjoyed it. RIP Chick; must have been young.

 

Chick was almost your age Dave, 79.
He was doing this 40 years ago.

 

Wow, thanks I just saw this post. I hadn't heard that he died. Great talent! I began listening to him on the first Return To Forever album in the early 70's.
What a shame he is gone.

 

I was just going through my jazz collection over the weekend and was playing his Light Years album. I have no idea how I missed his death. A true Jazz pioneer.

 

The good thing about getting older is I pulled this thread up again and listened to the intro again without recalling I already had. Still like it; wife would not.

 

And you meet new people every day! Sometimes some of them even live in your house.
