American jazz pioneer, composer, keyboardist and bandleader Chick Corea passed away on Tuesday, according to a post on his Facebook page. He was 79 years old. The Facebook statement says Corea died from “a rare form of cancer which was only discovered very recently.”

Corea was the fourth-most-nominated artist in the history of the Grammys, with 65 nominations, winning 23 times. He also earned 3 Latin Grammy Awards, the most of any artist in the Best Instrumental Album category.

He was a long-term Scientologist, right?

I wish the article would have NAMED the type of cancer he had...

Maybe others could be made aware that there is more than lung, cancer...there are many types of blood cancer..many rare and no cure, no treatment...

Sad for all that suffer..Prayers for all, who suffer from all forms of that hated disease ..

Yes. I asked him about that after a concert in Portland a very long time ago. He said Scientology was a useful tool.

One of my genius-heroes since his days with Miles.

Thanks for the great music, Chick. You were an inspiration.

When I was young and all the kids were into Zepplin and Kiss, I was listening to jazz fusion, programming rock and so many interesting thing’s.

Another great musician gone...

I’ve read his nickname came from his aunt, but never the story behind that.

Prayers for his family and friends.

I’m enjoying (slightly mournfully and smiling at the same time) “Spain” (with orchestra) as I type this.
