The Blue Note
I saw Chick Corea at the Blue several times, this was the first time.
Dave Weckl played drums, who I saw play with Garcia in 1976.
In 1977 I met Chick Corea while traveling home from the University of Vermont where I attended summer music school that year. The Vermont Jazz Festival took place in Burlington around the end of the summer and Chick was flying home with his band on the same flight from Burlington as some of us music students. We spoke with the band, mentioning our summer as music students at UV. They were incredibly nice to us, even letting us listen to recordings on headphones from their tape machine of their performance at the festival. We even introduced Chick to our folks (who had come to pick us up at the airport) when we touched down in NYC. Below are some of my photos from that chance encounter.
