That’s Edsel Gomez – - the great pianist and composer working with Dee Dee.

Chick's acclaim as one of the most revelatory composers and pianists of the last 50 years rests on the awesome diversity of his work. There's hardly a branch of modern music that Chick hasn't shaped in some way, from acoustic and electric jazz to avant-garde and full-orchestra classical. His musical voice is completely distinct, and yet always purely adventurous.
