Chick Corea was involved in a wide variety of projects during the early 1980s, some acoustic, others electric, and everything from solos and duets to orchestral projects.
Touchstone really displays quite a bit of diversity with features for flamenco guitarist
Paco DeLucia, a one-song ("Compadres") reunion of
Return to Forever (with guitarist
Al DiMeola, bassist
Stanley Clarke, and drummer
Lenny White), a spot for alto-great
Lee Konitz ("Duende"), and a conventional sextet outing on "Dance of Chance." A bit uneven but with its interesting moments,
Touchstone is worth checking out. ~ Scott Yanow
