An article in the Tampa Bay Times pays fitting tribute to Chick Corea, winner of 22 Grammy Awards,\u00a0according to the Times\u2019\u00a0Jay Cridlin, and a Scientologist for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The incomparable Chick Correa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The whole article is worth reading. I\u2019m sharing a section that relates to Chick as a Scientologist:<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom his childhood growing up outside Boston, he was a piano prodigy, learning the trade from his father, a Dixieland trumpeter, and later studying, briefly, at Columbia and Juilliard. During the 1960s he shared stages with Cab Calloway, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz. In 1968, he replaced Herbie Hancock in Miles Davis\u2019 band, appearing on landmark albums like Bitches Brew<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was around this time, as he was coming into his own as a bandleader, that Corea discovered the work of another towering figure: L. Ron Hubbard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe founder of Scientology \u2018was a great artist himself as a writer,\u2019 said Corea, who quickly became a fan of Hubbard\u2019s science fiction writing and teachings. \u2018He was magnificent.'\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in Clearwater allows Corea to take Scientology courses at the church\u2019s spiritual headquarters: \u201cThe idea is just to improve myself, and find out better ways to create and better ways to help myself and others,\u201d he said. He has played numerous church events and written two albums, 2004\u2019s To the Stars<\/i> and 2006\u2019s The Ultimate Adventure<\/i>, based on Hubbard\u2019s writings. He even collaborated with Hubbard on the founder\u2019s own albums, 1982\u2019s Space Jazz<\/i> \u2014 a soundtrack to the novel Battlefield Earth<\/i> \u2014 and 1986\u2019s The Road to Freedom<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get to meet him,\u2019 Corea said. \u2018But we had a great letter line together, and I got some very nice arrangement suggestions, when he asked me if I would arrange some of the pieces. I made the arrangement, and sent it to him to see what he thought. It was a collaboration that we did via tape and cassette, that kind of thing. It was wonderful, just absolutely wonderful.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of Corea\u2019s Scientology-based works were praised by fans outside the church \u2014 To the Stars <\/i>and The Ultimate Adventure<\/i> both earned Grammy nominations, with the latter winning two.\u201d<\/p>\n
