Remembering Chick Corea's Life from the Four Pillar/BaZi Perspective

2021 (Yin Metal Ox) has been a tough year. Not only affected by the Coronavirus but also by the passing of two musical legends: the pioneering jazz pianist Chick Corea died on February 9, and the legendary audio engineer Al Schmitt passed away at 91 in April. The worlds of music and audio lost two of their true giants. As a musician and pianist, I am a big fan of Chick Corea. His compositions and playing styles have been an inspiration since I first heard him with his pioneering Jazz-Fusion ensemble, Return to Forever, and that inspiration became a lifelong influence when I listened to his solo recordings and his work with various jazz trios throughout the years.
