This is the second of two LPs recorded by
Chick Corea shortly after he broke up the avant-garde quartet
Circle, saying that he wanted to communicate to a larger audience. As with the first set, these brief sketches are melodic and a bit precious but contain some strong moments. In addition to seven
Corea originals, he interprets
Thelonious Monk's "Trinkle Tinkle" and
Wayne Shorter's "Masquellero." Not essential but worth acquiring. ~ Scott Yanow
