Damn! That hurts. The gods are mortal.
I just played Stan Getz's "Sweet Rain" yesterday! Chick was a rising star at the time (1967), they did his "Lethia" and "Windows"

I'm seeing it may be a hoax...hope so. EDIT Rolling Stone are reporting it as fact...what a shame.

RIP! I regret never catching him live. He's left behind a lot of very beautiful music
e: also, what a smile he had!

Whooooooa! Glad I got to see the RtF reunion a few years ago.
Uau, very sad.
One of the originals. I love his work.
Saw him once, a duet with Herbie Hancock.

RIP to a true master of this music.
I was lucky to be able to see him play with the trio with Christian McBride and Brian Blade and with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival back in 2016. My mom and I got really lucky cause after the opening act, two elderly women who only came for the opener and needed to catch the train back to city gave us their 4th row dead center tickets. The music from both sets, but especially the trio, floored me and it still stands as one of my favorite concerts I've seen. One particular thing that was special about it was because I was so close to the stage, I was able to hear more of the acoustic sound of all them and less of the monitors. Chick spent a good 10 minutes after the first set visiting with audience members as well and was just an overall friendly guy to any of us who came up to thank him.

I got to see him once, performing in a duo with Bela Fleck. I was completely mesmerized. RIP.
