(Special 2-CD set) Limited Supply (with Chick's Signature Stamp)
Although the recording of Chick Corea’s The Complete “IS” Sessions took place in May of 1969, the rhythm section, which consists of bassist Dave Holland, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and legendary Latin/hard-bop/fusion pianist Chick Corea, found its footing seven months earlier in the electric tone poems of the In A Silent Way sessions under Miles Davis’s leadership.
Disc one begins with “It,” a 28 second classical duet between flutist Laws and Corea that is based on an original Corea composition called “Trio for Flute, Bassoon, and Piano.” “The Brain” and “This” add saxophonist Bennie Maupin to Corea’s playing, which sounds like the pianist’s ’68 Blue Note album, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Listen to the magic of Chick Corea as it continues to develop in the late 60's!
