Chick Corea was more than a pianist. He was a relentless explorer who reshaped the language of jazz across six decades, fusing bebop, Latin rhythms, rock energy, classical discipline, and improvisational daring into a catalog unlike any other. Chick Corea: Return to Forever traces his journey from his Chelsea beginnings to his final projects, revealing the life of a musician who never stopped searching.
This definitive account follows Corea through his formative years with Mongo Santamaria and Willie Bobo, his rise alongside Miles Davis during the birth of electric jazz, and his radical turn with Anthony Braxton in the free-improv collective Circle. It captures the explosion of Return to Forever, first as a lyrical Brazilian-inspired ensemble and then as a fusion powerhouse with Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, and Al Di Meola that filled arenas in the 1970s.
The book also examines Corea’s discipline as a composer and bandleader, his meticulous rehearsal methods, and his ability to reinvent himself through projects like the Elektric Band, the Akoustic Band, his Spanish Heart explorations, and classical collaborations. From duo recordings with Gary Burton to orchestral commissions, from teaching through Children’s Songs to embracing digital platforms in his final years, Corea remained a model of curiosity and rigor.
Drawing on historical detail and the perspective of someone who lived within the jazz world, Chick Corea: Return to Forever offers not myth but testimony. It shows Corea as both virtuoso and collaborator, a musician who treated every ensemble as a laboratory and every performance as a chance to begin again.
For fans of jazz, fusion, and the restless pursuit of creativity, this book is both a biography and a roadmap. Chick Corea’s story is not only about the past—it is about the future of music, and how one artist’s refusal to stand still continues to inspire generations.
