Chuck Corea and his band Return to Forever were my introduction to Jazz Fusion in the 70’s. His music holds a very special place in my life. I saw him, Stanley Clarke, Lenny Williams and Al Dimeola (the other members of RTF) live in Charlotte NC in 1976 and it was an out of this world concert.
The title song of that album, Light as a Feather, was sung by Flora Purim - what I imagine angels sound like.

Being from greater Boston and not far from world-renowned Berkeley School of Music where he was a jazz pioneer, I became quite familiar with him and am a fan of Jazz fusion. We got to see him often. I have quite a few CDs with him and RTF. He was one of the greats and well respected in the community. He will be sorely missed.
