The music world was dealt a major blow when jazz piano icon Chick Corea died. His death was announced on February 11, 2021, in a statement that quotes Corea as saying, “My mission has always been to bring the joy of creating anywhere I could, and to have done so with all the artists that I admire so dearly — this has been the richness of my life.”

Many prominent musicians were quick to offer their words, with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis writing that “He left an uncommonly deep canon of diverse and high-quality music.” Pianist Christian Sands also honored Corea, describing him as “An architect building his own language one note at a time.”
