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
