I have to say it's the Return to Forever w/ LaFiesta, etc. It's the first Corea album I bought and I played it to death. May not be the best of the lot, but it takes me back to those early formative jazz years. It has, and always will be one of my all time favorites.
What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album?
Chick Corea has been a prolific and creative jazz artist for over thirty years. I throughly enjoyed his newest CD, The Ultimate Adventure, which he described as being a "tone poem." It's reminiscent of some of his earlier work (e.g., The Leprechaun) as it is based on literature - in the case of The Ultimate Adventure, a science fiction story by L. Ron Hubbard. The Leprechaun was my introduction to Corea's work and remains a preferred listen. However, my favorite Corea CD is Beneath the Mask, a more traditional jazz CD by the Electric Band. I particularly like Patitucci's bass playing on the first cut - Beneath the Mask played very loudly.
