Reissue and
remastered. Comes with new liner notes. Available only for a limited
period of time until March 20, 2015. It's unlikely that two major
musicians could have more in common than Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.
Born a year apart, they both got their starts on Blue Note sessions in
the early 1960s, worked extensively with Miles Davis (albeit in very
different periods), and were among the architects and biggest successes
of fusion in the 1970s. Equally distinguished as pianists and composers,
they share many of the same influences, both in classical music (Ravel,
Debussy, Bartók) and jazz (Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans), and
in the late 1970s, both were dividing their time between electric and
acoustic projects.
This 1978 duet concert testifies to a remarkable empathy, along with the
polish that each brings to any venture. Their two grand pianos seldom
collide as they dovetail and overlay runs, rhythms, and chords, clearly
enjoying the challenge and creating tremendous energy in the process.
"Someday" inevitably invokes Miles, while the chromatic fantasia on
Gershwin's "Liza," complete with stride, suggests populist roots in
Rhapsody in Blue. "Button Up," an extended improvisation, is a
highlight, including rhythmic dialogue between hand-muted strings, while
"February Moment" is a relatively rare Hancock foray into solo piano.
The most remarkable playing, though, is saved for the end: segued
performances of hits--Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" and Corea's "La
Fiesta"--that run to 35 minutes of sustained keyboard invention.
