Armando Anthony Corea, detto Chick (Chelsea, 12 giugno 1941 – Tampa Bay, 9 febbraio 2021) è stato un compositore, pianista e tastierista statunitense, noto soprattutto per le sue produzioni jazz e jazz fusion negli anni settanta e ottanta. Vincitore di ben 27 Grammy Award, Chick Corea è oggi ritenuto uno dei maggiori pianisti jazz, capace di adottare con gli anni uno stile molto personale di suonare il pianoforte, influenzato da musicisti come Domenico Scarlatti, Maurice Ravel ed il folclore popolare spagnolo. Oltre ad essere uno dei più influenti e famosi tastieristi fusion, era considerato uno dei più virtuosi utilizzatori di tastiere elettroniche, in special modo il Fender Rhodes, da lui sperimentato per la prima volta durante il periodo con Miles Davis. In tutta la sua vita artistica il suo modo di suonare il pianoforte è stato molto influenzato dal suo passato "elettrico" con il grande trombettista.
