Here, there a Chick, Where else a Chick Corea ?

I am a big 40-60's jazz fan. Never got a big kick out of fusion, but always keep an open mind. Cleaned up an old, though rarely played Maxell Jazz Sampler LP that has the Chick Corea cut "The Golden Dawn", which I find most enjoyable!! I subsequently saw in a second-hand store a mint copy of "Again and Again: The Joburg Sessions" on the Elektra Musician label so I gave it a try. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT LP in content AND sonics. Blew me right away.

Anyone out there familiar with this LP that can give suggestions as to other Corea LP's which are equally enjoyable?

Many great Chick albums.....check out Three Quartets (1981 release) with Eddi Gomez, Michael Brecker and the one and only Steve Gadd. Some of Chick's newer releases are very good as well. Chick Corea New Trio / Past, Present, & Future......and Chick Corea and Friends / Rembering Bub Powell.

...then it went like a jazz-fusion plug over me when I started to research and holerically collect the solo works of Chick's members Al DiMeola, Steve Gadd, John Patitucci, Edie Gomez, Dave Weckl that somehow started to spread onto John Scofield, Mike Stern, John Abercrombie and advanced to ECM level along with various avant-grade performers of different countries mostly from Europe.

I appreciate to you Chick, and always enjoy claping my hands during your excellent live performances!
