[Tributes have been paid to jazz "genius" Chick Corea,
who has died at the age of 79.
The Grammy Award-winning musician died
on Tuesday from a rare form of cancer
that was only recently diagnosed.
The influential American is the fourth most
nominated artist in Grammys history
with 65 nods and 23 wins.
The Recording Academy, which hosts
the Grammys, paid tribute to
"undisputedly one of the most incredible
jazz innovators of all time".
In a message written before his death
and left for his fans, Corea said:
"My mission has always been to bring
the joy of creating anywhere I could,
and to have done so with all the artists
that I admire so dearly - this has been the richness of my life."]
