(CNN)Renowned jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea has died, according to a statement on the musician's website. He was 79.

Corea died from "a rare form of cancer" that was discovered only recently, according to a statement on his website.

"He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather, and a great mentor and friend to so many," read the statement. "Through his body of work and the decades he spent touring the world, he touched and inspired the lives of millions."
Over a career that spanned more than 50 years, Corea worked with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Mann and Miles Davis.

I always enjoyed his music, and they whole crew in Return to Forever.

May He Rest In Peace.
