Chick Corea: Solo Piano- Piano Improvisations- Children's Songs (CD: ECM, 3 CDs)
Three CD box set of Chick Corea’s piano music, reminding us that the distinguished solo piano tradition at ECM started in 1971 with Corea’s spontaneously-recorded volumes of improvisations and jazz tunes (all by Chick save for Monk’s “Trinkle, Tinkle” and Wayne Shorter’s “Masqualero”). The “Children’s Songs”, recorded in 1983, are finely-honed yet playful solo piano miniatures that can be related to the tradition of Bartók’s “Mikrokosmos” and Kurtág’s “Játékok”. Violinist Ida Kavafian and cellist Fred Sherry join Chick for an “Addendum”. Booklet includes liner notes by Chick Corea and Neil Tesser, plus archive photos. (ECM Records)

Chick Corea: Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 (CD: ECM Touchstones)Chick Corea: Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 (CD: ECM Touchstones)
Chick Corea’s first unaccompanied album initiated the solo piano idiom at ECM, and proved to be extremely influential. Alongside music created in the moment, some powerful melodies are explored here, not least that of “Sometime Ago”, soon to be a theme song for the Return To Forever band. “I found it quite easy to select what I felt was the single best disc [of 1971]. Chick Corea’s Piano Improvisations Volume One is a true masterpiece of music and a very important album” - Michael Cuscuna, Record World. (ECM Records)

Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani in their first recorded collaboration, a document of a most spirited gig in Orvieto’s Teatro Mancinelli last December.

The recording is Corea’s first new ECM date in more than a quarter-century. (ECM Records)

Chick Corea, Eddie Gomez & Paul Motian: Further Explorations (CD: Concord, 2 CDs)
Join master pianist Chick Corea as he leads original Bill Evans alumni – bassist Eddie Gomez and the late drummer Paul Motian – on ‘Further Explorations’, a two-CD live set of 19 tracks that examines Bill Evan’s piano trio aesthetic. The spirit of Evans comes alive thanks to the vibrant simpatico shared by these three master musicians.

Produced by Corea, ‘Further Explorations’ was recorded May 4-17, 2010, live at the Blue Note in New York City. In preparation, Corea, Gomez and Motian examined the entire Bill Evans discography. Rather than approach the music as a tribute, his material provides more of a template. Each musician also contributes original material. The results are inspired, as this elevated piano trio plays with near-telepathic empathy and a remarkable blend of ingenuity and emotional depth.

Sadly, Paul Motian died on November 22, 2011. He was a member of the first Bill Evans Trio, with Scott LaFaro on bass. This was the most influential progressive piano trio in jazz at the time. “I loved playing with Chick and Eddie during our two-week stay at the Blue Note,” said Motian. “It was two weeks of great music, friendship and tribute. This CD is a true reflection of that.” (Proper Music)

Chick Corea: Plays (CD: Concord, 2 CDs)Chick Corea: Plays (CD: Concord, 2 CDs)
The latest addition to Chick Corea's remarkable discography is 'Plays', a captivating and intimate double album of solo performances. While he claims that, "Solo piano is lonely," Chick finds himself in good company throughout these stellar performances, engaging with several of his favorite composers.

The list of icons represents a wide swath of musical history, from the classical repertoire of Mozart and Chopin to formative jazz influences like Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans, on to the Great American Songbook classics, the bossa nova beauty of Jobim, and the modern pop sensibility of Stevie Wonder.

With countless classics having become standards over the last half century, Corea himself deserves to take his place in that pantheon, and 'Plays' includes a number of pieces - reprised from past albums or spontaneously improvised - from his own estimable songbook. The album also showcases his charming rapport with enthusiastic audiences in concert halls across Europe and the U.S., who become integral collaborators in these spirited renditions.

Under any circumstances, these thrilling live recordings would be a welcome addition to Corea's prodigious discography. With the news of his passing still so fresh in listeners' minds, its release comes as an opportunity for fans to bid farewell while cherishing the communal energy and playful vigor that made the pianist a favourite of jazz lovers around the world for nearly 60 years.
