He was a prolific composer, performer, and collaborator. I was fortunate enough to have seen him perform at a jazz festival in trio form with Christian McBride and Brian Blade.</p> <p>Chick is a special artist for me because he was the founder of one of the first groups I discovered when I was sort of coming of age musically, back in middle school. I found a copy of Return to Forever's <em>No Mystery</em> in my brother's record collection, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. And while he has recorded so much music and in different styles, he will always — for me — be the electric keyboard warrior.</p> <p>I have gathered here a collection of some of <em>my</em> favorite tunes. I offer it for Tidal and Spotify. It is in no way comprehensive or representative of his entire body of work. Today I prefer his acoustic stuff, especially the Trilogy recordings - mostly because of Brian Blade.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;"><iframe src="https://embed.tidal.com/playlists/75d1da08-6c41-45a2-9e1b-8593b240f8ba?layout=gridify" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 1px; min-height: 100%; margin: 0 auto;"></iframe></div> <iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/5D78dMdpdExT8gSL5dDHkp" width="300" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe>
