To celebrate the legacy of the late Chick Corea, today we'll focus on what he leaves behind, in addition to countless recordings as a leader or sideman, a body of compositions that have already expanded the jazz canon and will continue to do so in the coming years. In this first part of the programme we'll focus in particular on his "Spanish heart" and his "Children's Songs" cycle.
The playlist features Iiro Rantala, Michael Wollny, Leszek Mozdzer; Don Grolnick; Willie Bobo; Michel Camilo; Santana; Biréli Lagrène, Sylvain Luc; Roy Haynes; Diego Figueiredo; Friedrich Gulda; Susanne Abbuehl; Tommy Smith; Kris Bowers; Nicola Andrioli; Mural; Chick Corea.
