Lagavulin 22 Year Old Jazz Festival 2020 | Chick Corea

Chick Corea was BOTD 12th June in 1941.

“What making music for people does, I’ve observed, is it stimulates what’s natural in all of us. It’s native sense, in every person. You don’t have to be a professional anything — all you need to do is be a living human being, and open to the play of imagination.” - Chick Corea (Jazz Times).

Lagavulin Jazz 2020 bottled at 52.6%, this 22 Year Old was matured in refill American and European oak casks, some of which were wine seasoned. Just finished the Jazz 2019 so this is next up 🥃🥃.

In the early Sixties, Corea established himself as an A-list pianist, working with Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, and others. Later in the decade, he joined Miles Davis’ band and played a key role in helping the trumpeter make the transition to a more contemporary, plugged-in sound on albums like Bitches Brew. Following his work with Davis, he formed his own groundbreaking electric band, Return to Forever, which played some of the most vibrant and dynamic music of the fusion era. In the ensuing decades, Corea threw himself into countless projects, showing off his limitless range — from a refined duo with vibraphonist Gary Burton to his trendsetting Elektric Band. - Rolling Stones

I have seen Corea play in Hong Kong a couple of times, the second clip is from the 2017 show. The most memorable show was at the Blue Note in New York City with the Spanish Heart Band. I was in Boston for several days and caught the train for a whirlwind trip to NYC. Corea sadly died in 2021 after a short illness.
