Norman Provizer Share Though you didn’t find very much in the way of jazz on the delayed Grammy Awards show, it did, in its own way, serve as a strong tribute to Chick Corea who passed from the scene on February 9, 2021. The Chick from Chelsea won a Grammy for best-improvised jazz solo and a second award for best jazz instrumental album. The first was for his work on “All Blues” on the Trilogy 2 disc, while the second named that same disc (that has Brian Blade on drums and Christian McBride on bass) as the best instrumental jazz release of the year.
