| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - A Great Compilation
I find myself playing this CD over and over again. There is something ineffable about Chick's playing, especially his early work, that has a quality that can't be precisely described -- we call it genius, or beauty, but we can never pin it down. The cuts on this CD are like that. The first 2 are from a Blue Mitchell album, but played melodically, and with beautiful horn accompaniment. The other cuts are Chick in a trio setting with the late great basist Miroslav Vitous. The interplay between Vitous and Chick is a treat to the ears. Chick's version of "My One and Only Love" is astonishing. I have this cut on my all-time piano trio CD collection. This is the kind of CD that you can play forever and never get tired of, because the playing is so fresh. As one other reviewer commented, those who own the "Now He Sings.. CD will find duplication here, but I'd say this is definitely a CD worth getting if you want to listen to a lot of great cuts from Chick's early work. (For those who are looking for Chick's electronic music, I want to emphasize that this CD is from Chick's early work, so you probably don't want to get it).
5/5 - Las mejores grabaciones acústicas de Chick Corea
Lo que me gusta de Chick Corea es que el color de su música es perceptible en cualquier ambiente que el pianista de Boston la ejecute. Ya sea en fusión, hardbop, vanguardia, electrónica, Corea siempre desliza ese toque lúdico que lo caracteriza. Sus primeras grabaciones, incluso esas tan densas como las que grabó con CIRCLE o el A.R.C. de ECM, están llenas de una belleza ecléctica y luminosa como un arcoiris, en este disco resume sus mejores grabaciones (desde mi particular punto de vista), aquéllas que grabara a finales de la gloriosa década de los sesenta. Sólo para gente que desee incorporarse al lado claro de la luna "coreana", porque quienes ya lo conocemos hay que ahorrarse la compra de este disco y conseguir rápidamente los compactos "Now he sings, now he sobs", "Tones for Joan's bones", "ARC", el "Song of singing" o el disco "Inner space".
5/5 - Genius
