Much appreciation to all who assembled Chick's extensive and incredible discography. Excellent bio. Y'all did an outstanding job. Thank you.

We're still busy adding all of his albums but Mr. Corea at long last has his own page on Progarchives now Party

My instinct says to keep the Return To Forever page intact and merge the Chick Corea Elektric Band albums into the new Chick Corea page (which would be in accordance with Miles Davis Quintet albums being on the Miles Davis page etc.). As for collaborative albums, my personal rule of thumb in general is to add those only when the artist in question is the first credited (meaning this album would make the cut but this one wouldn't. Kind of arbitrary, I know, but then again: isn't everything?).

The JF team has all but fallen apart. I have no idea when anything will get done there. I do know he was cleared so who knows when he will be added. Sorry

Would you like some help with this? I could maybe finish what you've started if you'd like Smile

Sure, I would appreciate that! I'll send you a message Smile

^ according to RYM there are 80 albums in his canon but they're counting Return To Forever and C.C Elektric Band so it will probably be only half the number

All good, I'll work on an original bio over the next few days. I've been looking for an excuse to write a more lengthy piece anyway, and based on this thread, it looks like the inclusion is practically a guarantee Thumbs Up

^ Not a bad start but usually a biography should be more neutral & less effusive and include plenty of background info.  Corea's career is complex and a proper original bio would be a substantial undertaking.

I am not qualified to write anything about Chick but here is something.

Armando Anthony “Chick” Corea,
June 12, 1941 - February 9, 2021. One of America's treasures. A world renowned composer and keyboardist he had a prolific musical journey that according to Downbeat "embodied a global range of reference—Bach and bebop coexisted with Bartók and the blues, Mozart and montunos, Ravel and rumba, Stravinsky and samba, all tempered with the Spanish tinge. He was master of his instrument, able to caress a lyric passage with the delicacy of a bel canto singer or articulate a wide array of grooves with the precision and grace of a tango dancer. His hands were completely independent, and he tossed off fleet embellishments with no apparent effort, though he never showed off, never deployed his enviable technique as an end unto itself. In any context, Corea was above all a musical storyteller, deploying whichever keyboard he used as a sound carrier, a tool of his imagination."

In addition to the fusion records he created with Return to Forever and Elektric Band, many of his solo albums were fusion and deserve to be celebrated.

^ but his solo albums aren't

@ Grumpy. Can you write an original bio? Just change things around a bit?
Also Chick released dozens of albums as a solo artist so it will be quite a chore adding them all but i agree he deserves to be here as a solo artists in addition to his other projects that are here.
