Chick usually announces the pieces but it seems his introductions were cut out. I am a big Chick Fan but failed on titles for a few familiar songs.


I never thought of uploading this as I did not want to sort out if it was stuff released on the official. Well, I broke out my treasured "Rendezvous in NY" DVD Box Set and compared it side by side with this recording. I have concluded that set 2 was the one used for the DVD but not set 1 (I received both sets from this night as well as the following night's sets).

This is a really nice recording but the person who edited it cut out the talk between tunes and at least one Gadd Solo!
Anyway, the Three Quartets album/band is one of my very favorite among MANY Chick Corea Albums-IMO. Finally, Michael Brecker's playing here is sublime as usual and this show will make you love/miss him even more.

enjoy,
