Superb classic of jazz piano by Chick

pmfan

Helped define modern jazz piano with this classic trio recording. A lot of great additional material too over and above the LP cuts. A must have.

His first important recording features Roy Haynes on Drums. Excellent album originally released on the Solid State label in 1969. I bought my Lp in 1970.

They Say All Music Guide

The original LP only had five selections, but the CD contains 13, with the added eight (from the same sessions) having first been released on the double-LP Circling In. Age 26 at the time, and on the brink of gaining major recognition in the jazz world, pianist Chick Corea is featured with a very strong trio that also includes bassist Miroslav Vitous and drummer Roy Haynes. The music includes 11 of Corea’s originals, including “Matrix,” “Windows,” and “Samba Yantra,” Thelonious Monk’s “Pannonica” and the standard “My One and Only Love” and is essentially advanced hard bop with an open-minded attitude toward free jazz. Listen to how part of “Steps-What Was” has hints of Corea’s future composition “Spain.” – Scott Yanow
