Search - Chick Corea :: Definitive Collection

Forever but not definititve

"OK, it's unfair to release any collection from this marvellous band and put it as definitive, unless you put their whole material inthe package.



Here we are with the greatest (IMHO) fusion band this planet has known. This collection picks 2 or 3 songs from each album except for the last album "Musicmagic". However the choice, sometimes, it's not the best, but it's always controversial. What we can say for sure is that you cannot put this band in a brief anthology like that.



Anyway, it's a reasonable way to start,if you're new into RTF or fusion sutff from the 70's. BUT, if I were you, I would make a effort and buy their originals like "Hymn of seventh galaxy" "where have I known you before", "no mistery" and "romantic warrior", and get a real taste of good music.



This collection doesn't deserve four stars, but i just can't give a bad rate to Chick, Stanley, Al and Lenny.



enjoy!
