The City of Chelsea lost one of its greatest native sons with the passing of jazz great Armando Anthony “Chick” Corea this past week at the age of 79.
Chick Corea (whose nickname “Chick” derived from the nickname “Cheeky” that an aunt, who would pinch his cheeks, had given to him when he was a youngster) was born and raised in the city, attending the Williams School and Chelsea High School, though he graduated from Everett High in 1959 when his parents bought a house in that city in the middle of his junior year in high school.
Chick Corea’s immense musical talent was nurtured from a very early age by his father, Armando, who himself was a jazz musician, and continued through his years in the Chelsea school system.
