Search - Chick Corea :: Solo Vol 2

Corea's best solo piano?

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Nothing against the very fine PIANO IMPROVISATIONS VOL. 1, but VOL. 2 has a reflective quality, a simple beauty, a "magical aura" (when I started writing this I knew my words would come up short!) that I haven't heard elsewhere--in Corea's large catalogue or anyone else's. "After Noon Song" and "Masqualero" (a Wayne Shorter composition) are particularly wonderful."

Chick's unigue approach to the solo platform

"I agree with Byran Moore,these two discs are chick's approach to the solo platform in the early 70's.and there both excellent sets.After the first 5 tunes Chick starts taking it 'outside'.He does a remarkable job on Masquerello,a tune composed by Wayne Shorter.It took some courage to speak a 'new voice',as Keith Jarrett did around the same time period.These trailblazers always add some excitement by trying something different,what the heck,try the approach and see the respose.As George Bernard Shaw once said "it is better to have tried and failed,then never to have tried at all..."

Enjoy
