Album Notes Personnel: Chick Corea (acoustic & electric pianos, keyboards); Flora Purim (vocals); Joe Farrell (soprano saxophone, flute); Stuart Blumberg, John Rosenberg, John Thomas (trumpet); Ron Moss (trombone); Charles Veal, Kenneth Yerke (violin); Denyse Buffum (viola); Dennis Karmazyn (cello); Eddie Gomez, Stanley Clarke, Anthony Jackson (bass); Airto Moreira (drums, percussion); Steve Gadd (drums); Don Alias (percussion). Producer: Chick Corea. Compilation producer: Michael Lang. Recorded between 1972 and 1978. Includes liner notes by Scott DeVeaux. Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Polygram Studios). This is part of the Verve Jazz Masters series. Not all of the installments in the Verve Jazz Masters series contain material originally issued on Verve. Verve Jazz Masters 3, for example, consists of 14 examples drawn from seven Chick Corea LPs released on the Polydor label during the years 1972-1978. Six of these come from Corea's Return to Forever period. The backbone of this collection (tracks one, seven, ten and fourteen) are selections from the highly acclaimed album Light as a Feather (1972) and there are excerpts from Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (1973) and No Mystery (1975). The other eight titles are traceable to Corea's theatrically costumed and somewhat heavy-handed production albums The Leprechaun (1975), My Spanish Heart (1976), Friends (1978) and The Mad Hatter (1978). This disc will be useful as a vintage jazz fusion sampler or more specifically as an overview of what Chick Corea was up to during the Nixon/Ford/Carter years. ~ arwulf arwulf
