	🥁 11:42am Sean in Bristol UK: Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all, such sad news about Chick, huge fan, this will be a great tribute this afternoon/evening
	11:43am Irene Trudel: Hi Sean and all listening in! My husband, Peter Keepnews, is joining in to co-host and help pick favorite tracks.
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Irene, and hello, all!
	🥁 12:01pm YETI BOB: Ok, I'm ready to return to forever. Snowed-in in Chicago, it just keeps coming down! Hi Irene and Peter.
	🥁 12:01pm Threemoons: Greets all!
	12:01pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Irene and listeners
	12:01pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Peter Keepnews!
	🥁 12:02pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene & Peter. Light As A Feather was a favourite in this house.
	🥁 12:02pm Threemoons: Looking forward to this show; Rest in Power, Chick!
	12:03pm Irene Trudel: Welcome james, YETI BOB, Threemoons, Sylvia and Brian! We're celebrating Chick Corea in as many combinations as we can fit in today.
	12:03pm Sem: Man, Return to Forever brings back a whole bunch of memories. Hello, Irene, all. Thanks in advance for this listening...
	12:09pm Marco Esquandolas: Hi Irene! Very happy that I get to listen to you today. I'm in Kentucky. We got an ice storm last week, a little bit of snow last night, and are expecting 5-8 inches of snow this afternoon and tonight. Good day to sit back and listen to some Irene!
	12:11pm Irene Trudel: Hi Sem and Marcos! Yes, it's a good day to listen in!
	12:14pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Irene + Peter! I hope you play a good survey of Corea's works!
	12:15pm alanr: The range of his musical eplorations and interests should be something we all should be open to and strive for (except perhaps the Scientology thing, but, whatever). His legacy is in sound.
	12:19pm Irene Trudel: Hey Henry and alanr! We were surprised at how many albums we have with Chick on them, and we still don't have everything. Plenty to choose from, and hoping we can fit what we planned into 3 hours.
	12:22pm Irene Trudel: Sorry for posting things out of order! I'll have to correct the time links after the show.
	🥁 12:39pm YETI BOB: Would love to hear from his group "Circle" with Braxton, Holland and Altschul
	12:42pm Hams: good to be here.
	12:43pm Rick from SC: Hi Irene and all. Glad you're celebrating Chick
	12:44pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, we have something by that ensemble coming up later. Good to have you here, Hams and Rick!
	12:46pm Rick from SC: The Mad Hatter is one of my favs.
	12:53pm Irene Trudel: Rick, unfortunately that's one we don't have. I'll save it for another week.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Irene and y'all!
	12:55pm Rick from SC: No problem Irene. Its one of his stranger albums
	12:55pm Webhamster Henry: Good combo here with Bela Fleck!
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: Well, strange can be good. Now I'm very curious. Hiya doctorjazz!
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: Henry, Peter and I saw Corea-Fleck in concert at Town Hall. Such great interplay between them.
	12:59pm doctorjazz: This Brazil is petty crazy (though banjo + anyone song not-country is by definition crazy sounding).
	1:00pm Rick from SC: I was also thinking this is crazy, in a good way
	1:00pm headcleaner: am extremely grateful for this tribute, Irene
	1:00pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a great show, they do really seem to mesh quite nicely!
	1:05pm Irene Trudel: You're quite welcome, headcleaner!
	1:10pm doctorjazz: Another band I didn't go for (Return to Forever)at the time, sound pretty good to me now...
	1:11pm Irene Trudel: I was heavily into Prog Rock at the time I discovered RTF. They really resonated with me.
	1:13pm doctorjazz: This was when"fusion" was (to some) a dirty word...
	1:14pm Deborah: Glad to be able to listen! Read later interviews with Chick Corea and found them inspiring and so sad at the same time.
	1:15pm doctorjazz: Prog rock wasn't what hippy-rock fans (Dead, Allmans,Band) listened to either back them, at least, in my neck of the woods.
	🥁 1:17pm Michael 98145: Captain Marvel - Stan Getz or Stan Lee?
	1:17pm Rick from SC: I always think of Maynard Ferguson when I hear this
	1:18pm Irene Trudel: Hey Deborah and Michael!
	1:19pm doctorjazz: I thought. (Could swear) I had this (Captain Marvel), maybe I do but can't find it. Oh well.
	1:21pm doctorjazz: (I did find a Verve 2-fer reissue, Cortes/Bill Evans sessions, will have to check out later)
	🥁 1:23pm WR: hi all, listening since just before the tune with Bela Fleck.
	🥁 1:27pm Michael 98145: Great photo!
	🥁 1:30pm Michael 98145: From his last statement: "My mission has always been to bring the joy of creating anywhere I could..."
	1:33pm doctorjazz: Looking for Captain Marvel, not many available out there on the internets...
	1:34pm Irene Trudel: Good to have you in the mix, WR.
	1:36pm Irene Trudel: That quote really says it all, Michael.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: (Found a 180 GM vinyl reissue of Captain Marvel, now looking for the Fleck...have this Powell album, very lovely). (Show's costing me money today, usually listen at work and can't indulge. Fun, though!).
	🥁 1:40pm βrian: Back from an insanely frigid walk. Pandemic tomato bisque warming on the stove. Good afternoon.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: Sad I can't clicky-star the show again once I've clicky-starred it already.
	1:42pm Dean: First heard RtF in the mid-'70s, Where Have I Known You Before, after having already been exposed to the delights of Birds of Fire, for which, indeed, I was prepared by Close to the Edge, Yessongs, Tales from Topographic Oceans, and other timeless prog monuments. Other great fusion bands to my ear include Gary Boyle's marvelous Isotope, and Dutch band Solution. PFM's Jet Lag, too, seems to have straddled the border between prog and fusion. Then there are the so-called Krautrock bands like Release Music Orchestra that bent prog in the direction of fusion, as did Denmark's Secret Oyster. Saw RtF during the Romantic Warrior tour at LA's Music Center. Stevie Wonder made a surprise appearance.
	1:43pm Irene Trudel: doctorjazz, that's often the case when I plan a tribute show. There are some things I just gottta have for our collection. Hi βrian and Dean!
	1:46pm Irene Trudel: Dean, sounds like we had a similar exposure to music back in those days. Sorry we didn't see RTF on their reunion tour. Tickets went fast, and I should've known it wouldn't be repeated.
	🥁 1:47pm βrian: I recall seeing Chick in 79 at the A² jazz fest. Seemed like a time of ferment.
	1:53pm Dean: In 1982 Don Snowden wrote a piece for the LA Times, Fusion Is Popular, But What Is It?: Be It Jazz-Rock, Jazz-Funk or 'Fuzak,' It's the Reigning Instrumental Music. Features Jeff Lorber. Remember him?
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Dean, you get the discs yet? Still open to trade on a double (sealed) 2 LP Thelonius Monk with John Coltrane. (I also found a sealed doubleof Sonny Rollins in Holland, 3 lp sweet. Have to keep better track of my purchases...🙃
	1:55pm Dean: Emailed you, doctorjazz, an hour or so ago. Yes! The Neville is beautiful. Haven't listened yet to Fort. Those LPs are tempting. Let me see if I have any non-classical duplicates...
	1:57pm Peter K.: Dean, Jeff Lorber (who I'm pretty sure is still around) had a saxophonist in his group named Kenny Gorelick. Yes, him.
	1:57pm Irene Trudel: Several years ago, when Soundcheck was a live program (I'm their regular mix engineer), we had a "Smackdown" segment on whether Fusion was good or bad. Al DiMeola actually called in on his own to argue that fusion=good.
	1:58pm Peter K.: P.S. I hope everyone listening is having as good a time as Irene and I are!
	2:01pm Marshland: Only time I saw Chick was in 2006, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. It was sold out, but I managed to get a seat on the stage itself, behind the band, when they released those extra stage tickets at the last moment :)
	2:02pm doctorjazz: Back then, to my mind, there was "good fusion" (Miles, Ornette) and "bad fusion" (Spyrogyra, Yellow Jackets), which morphed into smooth jazz. Where you placed on the spectrum determined how seriously you were taken. Boxing artists in categories does limit one and close the ears and mind, I'm learning in my old age.
	2:02pm Sem: Peter K.: loving this, all of this.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: @Dean, open to classical I "should" hear...
	2:06pm Dean: Somewhere out there in the vast archives of YouTube is a remix of Kenny G. on soprano saxophone with a high note that lasts something like a full minute or more, purely artificial treatment of one of his middling records. But it's the perfect mash-up of reed man Kenny G. and the other Kenny G.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Cookie brunch for me.
	2:10pm Irene Trudel: Marshland, maybe the last time we saw Chick wasin 2016 at The Blue Note birthday residency in NYC, at the Mahavishnu Meets Return to Forever show. We had seats right next to Chick's electronic keyboard setup. So amazing to see his hands close up.
	2:13pm Marshland: Just been looking at all your Flickr photos of it Irene, great seats indeed.
	2:21pm headcleaner: need to head out for my biweekly walk, Irene - but I'll be taking the good vibes from this fine show with me
	🥁 2:22pm Threemoons: Just booked my COVID vaccine--Moderna for next week. WOOT!
	2:25pm Irene Trudel: Thanks headcleaner! Hey, that's great news Threemoons1 How hard was it to get scheduled? I'm finally eligible and was going to try looking tomorrow.
	2:27pm Phil in Framingham: Never saw chick cornea in concert. But been listening to RTF, the solo stuff (children’s songs..) stuff with al di miola, fleck, mcfarren.. damn, he was good!
	2:27pm doctorjazz: I got both doses, my wife gets dose 2 this Saturday. Wish we could find it for my 2 daughters (but they're in their 20s, so rightfully should defer to those at more risk. The younger one is a teacher, but her Jersey town is all on line/Virtual classes, so no exposure there).
	2:32pm doctorjazz: Irene @ 1:57. I really miss that live Soundcheck show, used to do my best to catch it every afternoon. Did WNYC (foolishly) kill it, or did it just get to be too much for John?
	2:36pm Irene Trudel: No, it was a management decision, doctorjazz. It's now a staff of three-- me, John and our producer Caryn. John's been hosting remote sessions but I really miss doing those live band streams. Maybe by next summer again we'll be back at it.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Pity, I like the news coverage there, but how many talking heads do you need to analyze how bad things in the country are? Wouldn't a sprinkling of life-affirming art/music help offset it?
	2:47pm Webhamster Henry: Hey at least we convinced WNYC not to kill off New Sounds and install even more blah-blah-blah.
	🥁 2:47pm Threemoons: @Irene--if you are in NYC, forget the pharmacies for now. Try any of the "community health centers" and be sure to use an older browser like IE when it comes to the whole "confirmation" thing...I am sure that's why I got an appointment; I couldn't verify in Chrome!
	🥁 2:51pm Michael 98145: good health, everyone
	2:52pm alanr: Thank you Irene and Peter for this much too short, but incisive review of the musical life of Chick Corea. Good programming (as usual).
	🥁 2:52pm WR: thank you Irene and Peter. wonderful survey of the recordings of Mr. Corea. thank you.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene and Peter, wonderful show!
	🥁 2:53pm Threemoons: thanks for the amazing show!
	2:53pm Irene Trudel: Good to know, Threemoons. And, yes Michael-- good health to everyone. Thanks for joining Peter and I today for our Corea Celebration. I'll be back next Monday at noon. Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza!
	2:55pm Sem: clapping alot
	2:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Indeed! Up shortly on the Drummer Radio stream: Laugh and cry at the unchangingness of all things, with dream-collagescapes "Following the Leader" and "I Approve This Message." Listen and chat away here! wfmu.org...
	3:00pm Webhamster Henry: A good chilly afternoon show! Thanks I + P!
	3:00pm Hams: appreciate it, irene & peter. whatta show!
	🥁 3:46am Brian in UK: Irene, missed the end of your heartfelt tribute. Was hoping to hear his take on Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez. Never fails to lift the spirits. Thank you archives.
	🥁 3:11am Sean in Bristol UK: Work got in the way of listening to a wonderful tribute to Chick Corea, archives saves the day, thank you, Irene and Peter

With the release of their 12th album, Bipolar Explorer continues their beautiful tradition of dream-pop songs and landscapes. "Memories of the Sky" was in part inspired by a Paris exhibition of the works of Louis Janmot, and the reoccurring imagery of protective angels. Frontman Michael Serafin-Wells, along with vocalist/keyboardist Sylvia Solanas visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.

	2:45pm doctorjazz: Pity, I like the news coverage there, but how many talking heads do you need to analyze how bad things in the country are? Wouldn't a sprinkling of life-affirming art/music help offset it?
	2:47pm Webhamster Henry: Hey at least we convinced WNYC not to kill off New Sounds and install even more blah-blah-blah.
	🥁 2:47pm Threemoons: @Irene--if you are in NYC, forget the pharmacies for now. Try any of the "community health centers" and be sure to use an older browser like IE when it comes to the whole "confirmation" thing...I am sure that's why I got an appointment; I couldn't verify in Chrome!
