Pianist supreme Chick Corea talks about his wide and varied sources of inspiration, his philosophies on life — and the Japanese dynamo who is about to join him on stage.
It comes as a surprise to learn that jazz great Chick Corea has only this year started tuning in to one of the most famous music groups of all time.
"My most recent kind of artistic kick has been, after all of these years, discovering The Beatles — of all things," he says before taking to the stage at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, during his 35th anniversary "Crystal Silence Tour" last month.
