Chick Corea: Piano Solo

Chick Corea takes to the piano alone for this solo concert from the Munich Klaviersommer in 1983: an occasion for his imagination and virtuosity to be given completely free rein. As one would expect, he explores the myriad opportunities of his instrument while demonstrating the vast range of his influences and inspiration in his performances, improvisations and his own works: from classical music (including the visionary Alexander Scriabin, a prelude of whose is included here) through to forebears from the worlds of jazz and bebop. The result is a breathtaking demonstration of a genius at his height: essential viewing for jazz lovers and piano lovers alike.
