Chick Corea and Friends

This 1992 concert at Munich’s Philharmonie im Gasteig features Chick Corea alongside Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez and Bob Berg. Corea’s "Waltse for Dave", "Sicily" and the two-part "Quartet" are set against Dizzy Gillespie’s "Humpty Dumpty", Sammy Fain’s "That Old Feeling" and Thelonious Monk’s "Straight, No Chaser". Berg’s direct tenor lines cut through the texture, Gomez keeps the bass supple and alert, and Gadd fixes the groove with dry precision, while Corea alternates between sharp rhythmic figures and clear, singing phrases at the piano.
