CHICK COREA ~ TONES FOR JOAN`S BONES RHINO 75352 (Barcode: 081227535223) ~ USA ~ Jazz The 1966 debut album by Chick CoreaFind albums by this artist (recently re-mastered on RhinoFind albums on this label and originally released on a small label called VortexFind albums on this label, which belonged to AtlanticFind albums on this label). Chick leads a quintet with Woody ShawFind albums by this artist on trumpet, Joe FarrellFind albums by this artist on sax, Steve SwallowFind albums by this artist on bass and veteran Master Joe ChambersFind albums by this artist on drums (Farrell will of course return and play with Chick many more times later, including the first version of Return To ForeverFind albums by this artist). The music – composed by Chick except one tune by Kurt WeillFind albums by this artist – is basically Hard Bop with a distinct Latin tinge, which of course is hardly surprising as Chick paid his dues playing in several Latin bands led by Mongo SantamariaFind albums by this artist, Willie BoboFind albums by this artist, etc. His stint with Stan GetzFind albums by this artist also included a lot of Latin influenced material (Steve also comes from Stan’s band). The album lost none of its power and excitement over the years and is a damn good listen. To get the complete session I recommend the Inner SpaceFind albums with this title CD as a companion.
