The movies were O.K., but Murray was better, and in Rushmore he finally found something worthy of his skill.

Moving on to assemble many famed groups (including Circle, Return to Forever, the Elektric Band, the Akoustic Band and Origin) and having played with nearly every jazz great of the modern era (from Herbie Hancock to Gary Burton), Corea’s career reads like a jazz history book. Constantly stretching the limits of his art (and winning 12 Grammys in the process) Corea is undoubtedly one of jazz’s most influential keyboardists and composers...
