Corky McClerkin
's early career follows It follows in the wake of the infectiously funky, blues-based keyboard music exemplified by hard-bop paragons
Horace Silver
and
Bobby Timmons
in the '50s and '60s. Not surprisingly, McClerkin listened to those pianists while growing up on Chicago's south-side; he also heard plenty of
Ahmad Jamal
(who then lived and worked in Chicago), and Jamal's trademark airiness occasionally works its way into the mix as well. Since the 1960s, Corky has performed professionally throughout the Chicago area, guided by his mentor, jazz tenor great
Von Freeman
, he developed his talents throughout the 1970s while also discovering his passion for writing. As a featured columnist for the Chicago Courier, he was inspired to write
Undercurrents
(1978), a collection of short stories about the black experience. In 1981, Corky strengthened his talents by taking on the position of musical director and arranger for the Chicago production of
Sasha, Sing Dinah!
and wrote "a play, Life Cycles," performed at the Chicago Cultural Center. In 1983 he built on his experiences by releasing his first album,
Searchin' For The Soul
on WinCor Records in 1983. Hard-cardboard sleeve; obi; 180 gram vinyl.
