Chick Corea has taken some serious flack for artistic
decisions he made in the 70s -- plenty of it is deserved.
But before forming the first Return to Forever, he played
challenging, uncompromising jazz that floated somewhere
between post-bop, jazz-rock and free improvisation.
These two CDs, recorded in May of 1969, shouldn't be
listened to in one sitting. Some of this stuff works and
some of it doesn't, but in reasonable doses (say, 30-40
minutes), it's a fun ride. Chick's companions are his
buddies from the Davis group (Jack DeJohnette and Dave
Holland), trumpeter Woody Shaw, flautist Hubert Laws,
drummer Horace Arnold, and tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin.
Different permutations of the lineup play on each track.
The tracks run all over the place. "It" is a wonderful 30
second duet between Corea (on acoustic piano) and Laws;
"Is" is a 30 minute collective improvisation that drifts
unpredictably between energy and boredom. The best tracks
are "The Brain" and "This" -- explosive post-bop with
ear-opening solos by Corea (on both acoustic and electric)
and Maupin. If you're only familiar with Maupin from his
bass clarinet noodling on Bitches Brew or his reed playing
on the Headhunters recordings, you'll be blown away. He
sounds like a very angry Wayne Shorter. "Song of the Wind"
is also known as "Waltz for Bill Evans", while "Jamala"
would appear on the classic first album by the Gateway
trio.
This new reissue has much better sound than most previous
issues of this material; only the alternate of "Sundance",
for which no original masters were found, has a poor sound.
The sequencing is convenient: disc one contains the
(relatively) more accessible material while disc two
includes the collective improvisations. Anyway, if you like
Circle, the wilder moments of Now He Sings, Now He Sobs or
the rhythm sections on Miles's '69-'70 recordings, then you
should definitely pick up the Complete Is Sessions.
