[Review] Chick Corea: The Song of Singing (1970)
An album of free jazz that you couldn’t pay me to listen to twice.

Circle-2: Gathering (1971)
When Anthony Braxton joined Chick’s improvisational circle, things really started rolling. On this gathering, the quartet puts the “rad” in radial asymmetry.

[Review] Return To Forever Featuring Chick Corea: No Mystery (1975)
The Grammy folks got it right this time with an album that might just as well have been called No Contest.

Return To Forever: Romantic Warrior (1976)
Let me share with you my secret paramour in the field of fusion: Romantic Warrior. Loosely based on a medieval theme, this is the final installment in a very fruitful collaboration between Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola and Lenny White. Each of the four contributes at least one track to the proceedings, with the…

Chick Corea/Herbie Hancock/Keith Jarrett/McCoy Tyner (1976)
This elpee was a source of speculation for years, as I wondered what such a serendipitous summit of ivory merchants might sound like together. Apparently, I am a rube. This is simply a compilation of old and, in most cases, previously released material cobbled together to make a buck off of inexperienced jazz-tasters like, well,…

[Review] Johnny McLaughlin, Electric Guitarist (1978)
Not a McLaughlin matter worth overanalyzing, simply a septet of songs in various permutations. The idea here seems to be to show off the guitarist’s range, from Mahavishnu to Santavishnu to contentious energy-lord of the avant garde. Interesting but rarely arresting, Johnny McLaughlin, Electric Guitarist doesn’t belong at the top of John’s resume. I’ll concede…

Chick Corea/Gary Burton: Lyric Suite For Sextet (1983)
Kronomyth 38.0: STRINGS ATTACHED. Yet another collaboration with vibraphonist Gary Burton, this time with a conspicuous classical string quartet in tow. Lyric Suite For Sextet looks and sounds like an ECM record: cerebral, atmospheric, depressing, cold (which, I realize, is more of a progression than a list of qualities). It would be simple enough to…

Chick Corea Akoustic Band: Alive (1991)
[Kronomyth 49.0] Iconaklassics.
