Chick Corea: Today I’m remembering the birthday of one of the truly great pianists in jazz, Chick Corea.
Chick’s contributions to the music were vast—through his bands, his compositions, and his unmistakable voice at the piano. Happy birthday, Chick.

Wallace was one of my classmates at Berklee back in the day. I miss him, and I’m glad we had the opportunity to speak on the phone not long before he passed.

T-BONE WALKER: Today’s the birthday of blues great T-Bone Walker, born on this day in 1910. After I heard him for the first time, I knew that if I was ever going to be a student of the blues, T-Bone’s style would be the first one I studied.
