Qwest TV honors Chick Corea’s memory with curated playlist

An the wake of Chick Corea’s passing, Quincy Jones’ Qwest TV has curated a playlist to showcase and honor his contributions to jazz and genres as far-reaching as rock, classical, bossa nova, Latin, and many more.

Among the videos in this playlist are the incredible 2011 documentary Chick Corea: The Musician, and a range of concerts Corea gave across many of the world’s most important stages, both solo and in partnership with artists such as Miles Davis, the great McCoy Tyner (who also recently passed away), Friedrich Gulda, Steve Kujala, Moondog, Nicolas Economou, Gary Burton and more. In addition, Qwest TV had the honor of having Chick Corea as the February 2019 “Guest of the Month,” for which Corea chose a special selection of his favorite concerts, including a Coleman Hawkins concert from 1962, a Thelonious Monk show from 1963, and a live performance by Wayne Shorter, his long-time collaborator, from the 1987 Estival Jazz festival.
