    I’ve seen him live and I seem to remember enjoying. In my younger years romantic warrior was an album I listened to. But honestly did not delve into his work too deeply.

    A bit too electronic for me. I prefer the jazz standards of Keith Jarrett

      Listen to the cool things he does with the rhythm at about 0:50

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        @george-k here is Chick and Keith Jarrett (Retired at 75 due to complications of stroke) playing Mozart Piano Concerto No.10 in E-Flat major for two piano KV365 (361a)

        Link to video

        An old video with no so great quality but, these two people were masters of the keyboard no matter what they played.

                When people come over your house and see your piano and ask you to play something, that piece by Chic Corea is EXACTLY what you should play. Light, airy, kind of simple in it's way, inviting, yet astoundingly beautiful. Yet nobody but a really brilliant artist can actually do something like that. It's what makes the piano such an annoying instrument to play.

                Flushing the toilet is like practicing the piano; you just cannot go too long without doing it.--Axtremus

                  First class arrangement and interpretation. What TomK said too. Sigh.

                  I also really like Corea’s arrangements of the Scriabin preludes. Especially the E minor

                  Elbows up!

                    In a different vein, this was my first contact with Chick Corea and one of his better known compositions, I think I first heard it on vinyl in about 1979. Dig the funky modern technology!

                    What a lineup - Stan Getz representing the old guard with Corea, Stanley Clarke and Tony Williams. I know, it's mostly saxophone, but we need a bit of balance....

                    I was only joking

                      @Doctor-Phibes , that's great!
                      Love that Stan Getz Quartet video.
                      Every artist performed great individually and the entire band performed great as an ensemble.
                      The music itself, as a composition, is a masterpiece.
                      I suspect this will be the rare few pieces that I can listen to many times and still be awed and entertained every time for a long time.

                          was? 🤣

                          Pass that doobie!

                          Seriously though, I have that album on vinyl and it is still spectacular after all these years.

                                    I checked my Chick Corea transcription book and the prelude is not there.
                                    So... just screenshot each youtube page of notes to print.

                                        That’s the Scriabin Prelude I was referring to in my earlier post.

                                        It has a particular attraction to me as a music miniature, not least because it evokes very pleasant personal memories of a sunny autumn afternoon walking along the Garden Ring park surrounding downtown Moscow amid the mature oak, maple and linden trees.

                                        Elbows up!
