No Mystery by Chick Corea (CD, Jul-1987, Verve USA)

With a line up of four of the most talented musicians of the time being led by Genious Pianist Chick Corea speaks for itself. In fact I would buy an album by any one of these musicians on their own(Stanley Clarke, Al Dimiola, Lenny White, Chick Corea), together they are astonishing, melodic, intricately rhythmic, and suprising balanced. Much of the time when collaberations of musicians of this caliber it tends to be discruntled or overbearing like a battle for the spot light; This does not happen on No Mystery, every thing is in cohearent harmony from the softest dynamic level to the busyist solos every musician works together beautifully. So I would give is album 5 out of five stars, If I could give six I would. Also if you enjoy this album I would strongly recomend "Romantic Warrior" and "Where have I known you before", and anything done by the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
