Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He is an American jazz and fusion pianist, keyboardist, and composer.

In the 1970s he formed Return to Forever. Along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Keith Jarrett, he has been described as one of the major jazz piano voices to emerge in the post–John Coltrane era. Corea continued to pursue other collaborations and to explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
