Chick Forever: WBGO Celebrates Chick Corea

Chick Corea, who died on Feb. 9 at 79, was a boundless creative force, and an inspiration to all of us at WBGO. We never need a reason to celebrate his life and music, but in the wake of his passing, we are springing into action with #ChickForever, a weeklong celebration across the full sweep of our programming at WBGO.

Chick Corea and Bela Fleck at the WBGO Yamaha Piano Salon.

We would also love to hear your stories about Chick Corea. Fill out the form at the bottom of the page and tell us about your favorite memory, album, song or concert.

WBGO will share some of these highlights on the air throughout the week, so be sure to tune in, at 88.3 FM or here at wbgo.org.
