This double album reissues 
Chick Corea's first album as a leader, 
Tones for Joan's Bones, adding two previously unissued tracks from the same session plus a pair of performances from a 
Hubert Laws date of the period that feature 
Corea's piano and writing. With such players as 
Joe Farrell on tenor and flute, trumpeter 
Woody Shaw, bassist 
Steve Swallow and drummer 
Joe Chambers on this 
Corea date, the pianist performs five of his originals plus "This Is New" while The 
Laws cuts include 
Corea's "Windows." Throughout, this advanced hard bop music, which keeps an open attitude toward the avant-garde innovations of the period, is consistently stimulating. Even at this early stage, 
Chick Corea's playing is quite recognizable.
