as your list suggest.Although I'm QUITE certain Chick's name would be mentioned a time or two were such a discussion take place.

If he is saying his list is the greatest of all time, he left off many candidates. I have insufficient credentials to pick a greatest of all time, and really don't believe anyone does. I won't even go as far as saying that Mr. Corea belongs as a candidate because it is immaterial. That said, he was a remarkable pianist and composer with both popular and artistic appeal over nearly 5 decades. Anyone judging him merely by his fusion legacy is missing so much: early work with Getz and others, his avante garde period with Circle, work with Miles on early fusion efforts, RTF, duets with Burton and others, some great trio works (Corea/Vitous/Haynes & Corea/McBride/Blade - both collaborations were two of the best concerts I ever attended, several decades apart), his classical work, and Latin inspired work. Yes, his passing to the spirit world is a great loss.

he's pretty singular in that he wrote five 'jazz standards' and garnered 23 Grammy Awards out of 60 nominations ... there's nothing 'mere' about being a progenitor of jazz fusion while assembling some of the era's most premier virtuoso players into flagship ensembles of the genre either
as you have stated, that he was hired by several jazz luminaries of the 60's as an integral player to advance and evolve their musical concepts is certainly a stellar resume' just by itself
Corea earned any and all accolades for a body of work that was still in stride right up to his passing
RIP
Hi Cpwill, this is off topic, but I respectfully offer it as a big fan of Monk. You might want to correct your signature line. See this link -
In addition, I also consider Corea to be a major loss.

Thanks, and I know, This has been pointed out to me before, at least twice or more. So, I know Mull said it first, and Monk may or may not have ever said it. As a recovering architect (partially retired) and a volunteer jazz Programmer/Host/DJ for a community supported radio station in DC, it suits my purpose, so I continued to use it. As you will see below, you have convinced me to change it.
