COMPOSERS: The Chick Corea New Trio
LABELS: Stretch
PERFORMER: Chick Corea (p), Avishai Cohen (b), Jeff Ballard (d)
CATALOGUE NO: SCD 9035-2
Less innovator, more a follower of trends, Corea has returned to the acoustic mainstream for some time now, and this album sees him in straight-ahead mode. In terms of touch and timing, invention and execution and the overall musicality of his playing, Corea still remains a creative force on piano. SN
