I am so sad I will never see Chick perform live again, but mostly I'm sad the world has lost such a genuine, kind, decent, man and great artist who brought light to the world. The first time I saw him live at Yoshi's he performed with a combo of young musicians and you could see by the interactions on stage a deep mentor/mentee bond between them. Twice at Weyl Hall with Bela Fleck. Aside: you should take the opportunity to enjoy live performance here when life returns to normal. The first time Chick and Bela both expressed wonder at what a great venue this is. Some are calling it the Carnegie Hall of the west coast. In Santa Barbara with Herbie Hancock everything about that performance of two real artistic geniuses was amazing. (A very overused word today, but in this case appropriate.) Their opening piece started out with avant-garde chaos which gradually morphed into extraordinary beauty. The rest of the show built on that, ending with an audience participation rendition of Spain.
