?CHICK COREA: AN EXPLORATION OF HIS SPANISH HEART ?
?by Eric Myers ?

?Sydney Morning Herald, February 27, 1982 ?
C?losing the Peter Stuyvesant International Music Festival on a high note ?
?on Wednesday, the 40-year-old American Chick Corea gave the ?
?audience a generous serving of his rich Latin-oriented compositions. ?
?Featuring, along with Corea, Steve Kujala (flute and saxophones), Carlos ?
?Benavent (electric bass), Tom Brecktlein (drums) and Don Alias (percussion), ?
?the evening was an extended exploration of Corea's LP My Spanish Heart - just ?
?one aspect of this extraordinary musician's many-faceted talents. ?

?The compositions ranged widely through Corea's now enormous repertoire, ?
?including selections from an LP yet to be released, plus old favourites like Night ?
?Streets, from the LP Spanish Heart, and Dear Alice, from his LP The Mad ?

?Hatter. Generally, the music featured dense and rhythmically complex Latin ?
?feels, with long and powerful solos floating over the top, provided chiefly by ?
?Corea himself and Kujala, who predominantly used flute. ?
?Apart from high energy Latin-jazz-rock music, there were pleasurable contrasts. ?
?In the first show, Corea did solo versions on the acoustic piano of Thelonious ?
?Monk's Trinkle Tinkle and Round Midnight. In Corea's own words - "a tribute to ?
?a great classical composer in jazz" - this was a stunning exercise in ?
?impressionistic solo piano and a touching gesture so soon after Monk's untimely ?
?death about a week ago on February 17, 1982. ?
?In both shows, Corea and Steve Kujala performed four selections from the ?
?composer's catalogue of Children's Songs — simple but delightful pieces for ?
?piano and flute. Otherwise, Corea confines himself to his impressive battery of ?
?electronic keyboards, including the Yamaha GSI digital synthesizer, Mini-?
?Moog, Hohner clavinet, the Fender Rhodes electric piano. and the Oberheim ?
?OBXA synthesizer.?
