Lineup:
Jack DeJohnette Drums
Chick Corea Piano
Stanley Clarke Double Bass

A great sounding recording of a fabulous live in studio appearance. The only problem is that it is way too short. But hay, you get 2 great performances and an informative interview. As the show fades the DJ says that the band was going to stick around and rehearse for the nights show. How would you have liked to have been in that studio listening to these guys jam?

This is a partial show; the Al Di Meola concert segment it not included.

Jazz pianists played 23 cities across America, with several dates being professionally recorded.

Both record labels issued a live album, Columbia issued Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea – An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea In Concert 1978, while Polydor released CoreaHancock.  Tracks on both LPs are attributed to the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, and the Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, MI, so some of the King Biscuit tracks may be officially released.

We should cross-reference this against the official releases but I have not had the time to do so yet.

MOSHPIT.com has two tracks attributed to the Masonic on "Mar 8, 1978."

I see NO EVIDENCE they played the Masonic on that date.  There are print ads for a concert on Thursday, February 2nd, 1978.  They were originally scheduled for a single 7:30 show, but a second 10:30 show was added.

Thomas Albright, the critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote a harsh review, calling their solos "flawless gossamers of relentlessly pretty and occasionally witty effects - were close kin to the meandering improvisations of the cocktail lounge."

In contrast, the Chronicle's general pop cultural critic-at-large John L. Wasserman found the 40 minutes he watched (before he wandered over to the Fairmont to catch Peggy Lee (and have a drink, knowing Wasserman, a drink was almost certainly involved...) well, he found Corea and Hancock "no less than sensational" and "an experience I'll not soon forget."

Reactions to Mr. Albright's review were strong enough that he wrote a follow-up defense of his criticism a week later.

When checking the wave files to see if they were lossy some came back as they were. This could sometimes be due to noise reduction, a reel to reel source, a digital rebroadcast source, or of course an actual lossy source. I have included the aucdtect verbose text with the file set for you to check.

What can be said about Chick Corea or Return To Forever that I haven't said many times here before. This is an awesome show with a fabulous cast of Jazz Greats for your Sunday Morning Jazz enjoyment!!

As I sit here this morning sipping my coffee, looking out my back window at this sunny Sunday Morning I hear the neighbor's daughters outside playing. I could not help thinking of Chick Corea's Children's Songs. I decided with the bright sun outside that some vibes were in order. Hence this short but o so sweet show from Chic Corea and Gary Burton. It's only 43 minutes of a much longer concert but it's a beautiful recording that is so enjoyable I know that this will be a welcome addition to your Sunday Morning Jazz wake up....Enjoy!

Oh by the way, the cover art included in the original download did not match the track list of this recording. I included it anyway because it lists the entire set list on the back. I am actively looking for the complete show.

Two Piano Jazz Legends on the same stage inspiring each other to such heights of performance that you just have to sit and take notice. One of my favorite set of bootlegs in my collection is the soundboards from Billy Joel & Sir Elton John's Head To Head Tour. This performance, this pairing of players equals and I personally would dare to say tops those recordings. It really comes through, the fun, friendship, and mutual musical respect, in this show. This show started my Sunday Morning Jazz wake up. I think it will be a great show for yours...

About 4 or 5 inches of snow has fallen this week. It's snowing right now and everything out back looks so peaceful as I sit here drinking my morning coffee. This show from quite a few years ago is playing on the stereo. One of my favorite Jazz Fusion outfits playing on yet another program usually reserved for Rock and it's many off shoots. So many Metal Heads I know are into Return To Forever, it would amaze you. Most say it's for the guitar playing no matter which guitar player is in the group. My guitarist in Psychosis said it was for the song writing. My bass player of course said it was for Stanley Clarke. I have to agree with my guitarist that it's for the song writing. This remaster is a great example of the awesome live performances that also made Return To Forever a favorite of many....

3 songs in 43 minutes, it's short on titles not on outstanding performances. I am really enjoying the fact that a Detroit born and bred Kenny Garrett is playing sax on this one. Chick Corea only plays with the best, knowing that he picked a Detroit musician is a point of pride. I love it when 1 of us makes it out of The D. Detroit has always been a deep ocean of talent with a rich musical history. Oddly enough with with that rich history it's always been a scene that was hard to break out of. A lot of the music that came/comes form Detroit was/is seen as empty of anything but energy. The MC5 seen as a huge influence on Garage Rock, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Alt-Rock and Grunge were dismissed in their day. Their are more stories than that but The MC5 are the best known example, also this isn't Jazz talk so I will end this little rant by saying enjoy the music and check out those sax solos!!

This is a great sounding show from the Bill Conners era of Return To Forever. Bill Conners left in April 1974. He stated that he had musical differences with the shift toward a more Rock fusion sound, which he likened to Mahavishnu Orchestra. He also stated that he had a growing dislike for Chick Corea's Scientology way of running the band. After leaving Bill Conners started acting as a session musician playing with John Abercrombie and ex-bandmate Stanley Clarke. Bill Conners also released his own albums which included some acoustic guitar recordings. Of course all fans know he was replaced with one Al Di Meola. So let's all enjoy a little Return To Forever this Sunday Morning!

Wow! Can you believe it's time for Sunday Morning Jazz already. I don't know about you but I have had a busy week and I am ready to listen to some Jazz, sip my coffee, and watch the wind dance through the trees in my backyard.

What a show, what a recording the Legendary Mike Millard recorded the Legendary Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock! I really shouldn't have to say anything more but I am going to. This recording can be called soundboard quality! It is one of Mike MIllard's best recordings by far. That is saying a lot, but since it was such a laid back atmosphere Mike Millard was able to make a great audio capture. The audience never steps on the sound of the performance at all. The soundboard man had an awesome mix, everything presented on the stage is clearly heard. The performance is everything you would expect from two of the best keyboardists in Jazz...Enjoy the show my friends!
