Aren't I great
Am I a "Living Legend"? Ouch
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.
