Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea is an American jazz pianist, keyboardist, and composer. He is arguably best known for his work during the 1970's in the genre of jazz fusion, although his contributions to straight jazz have been tremendous.
He participated in the birth
of the electric fusion movement as a member of Miles Davis' band in the
1960's, and in the 1970's formed Return to Forever.

Growing up surrounded by jazz music, he was influenced at an early age by bebop stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Horace Silver and Lester Young.
He continued to pursue other collaborations and explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Among jazz pianists, Corea is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential since Bill Evans (along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Keith Jarrett). Over the years, he has been nominated for 45 Grammy Awards out of which he has won 12.
