Spain - Chick Corea

This little journey was started when someone shared Chuck Mangione's "Feel So Good" (a favourite album of mine in first year university) with me on Facebook. One thing led to another and I found myself feeling very nostalgic for my university days and my first experiences with what was then called the Canadian Stage Band Festival. I hope to share some selections over the next few days. (Trigger warning to Musicfest adjudicators - you may still not be ready to hear some of these tunes again LOL)
Picture
One of the great jazz tunes that I was introduced to during those years is Chick Corea's "Spain".

Return to Forever was really big with many of my friends and they dragged me on a road trip to Ottawa to hear Chick play. I was blown away and have especially loved the tune ever since.
This version is one of the most "major" versions I have ever heard. I wasn't sure I loved it the first time, but it has really grown on me. And of course Randy Brecker is AMAZING! Sorry for the ads!!! But I think it is worth it even so.
