CHICK COREA Akoustic Band

Album · 1989 · Post Bop
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
As much as I love RTF, sometimes I feel Chick truly belongs in trio setting, seated at nothing but the 88 of a grand piano, this album undoubtably provides solid evidence of this. "Akoustic Band" contains some solid Chick original work along with some jazz standards that illuminates this album with nostalgic flare. Chick's "Autumn Leaves" is definitely on I would put in the Evans/Jarrett echelon of this tune. Chick's "Someday my Prince will Come" could also be my favorite interpretation of this piece. The "Akoustic" version of "Spain" deserves recognition as well although I still prefer the RTF "Spain." The dynamic performance on drum kit by Dave Weckl and the truly pocket bass work by John Patitucci lays the foundation for Chick to effectively shine and inspire.

JAMIROQUAI The Return of the Space Cowboy

Album · 1994 · Acid Jazz
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
"Return of the Space Cowboy", Jamiroquai's second full album release, certainly breaches the realm of Acid Jazz, much more so than Jamiroquai's far funkier debut album "Emergency on Planet Earth." "Return of the Space Cowboy" has an eclectic diversity that indeed makes this a great album to listen to in it's entirety. Toby's mastery of his bag of keyboards shines throughout this album from the dominant clavinet part in "Stillness in Time", to the quirky synth parts in "Half the Man", and smooth fender Rhodes solo in "Mr. Moon". Zender brings a quite melodic bass line to the forefront in "Manifest Destiny", along with displaying his technical ability in "Mr. Moon" and "Scam". The exotic digeridoo of Walis Buchanan returns for another bout in the midst of this album in "Journey to Arnhemland." Derrick McKenzie, Jamiroqui's current drummer also makes an impressive debut on this album as well. The final track "Space Cowboy" is indeed a must listen to as well.
