| | Chick Corea Solo Piano: Standards CD Chick Corea Discography of CDs
This is the companion CD to ORIGINALS: SOLO PIANO PART ONE (9029).
Recorded live between November 15 & 30, 1999. Includes liner notes by Chick Corea.
14 tracks by jazz virtuoso, Chick Corea, including "How Deep is the Ocean" and "Trinkle Tinkle."
This second volume of Chick Corea's 1999 solo piano recordings is devoted to standard songs and jazz classics. Naturally, Corea draws mostly on the compositions of piano legends Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell. His tonally intricate, rhythmic style lends itself to some bold solo interpretations of well-known Monk originals like "Monk's Dream," the quirky "Blue Monk," and the signature ballad "'Round Midnight."
The Bud Powell tunes "Dusk in Sandi" and "Oblivion" are interpreted equally strikingly, but with a gently tragic sense befitting their composer. Corea also chooses some cherished standards with which to let his unique imagination run free. Of these, Jerome Kern's "Yesterdays" and Irving Berlin's "How Deep is the Ocean" are the most stunning examples of the pianist's mastery of interpretation. The crystalline sound of the piano and the live audience response makes this set as appealing as its predecessor.
Japanese edition includes one extra song.
CD contains 1 bonus track.

THE ARTIST - MIKE MARKAVERICHA native of Nashua, New Hampshire, Mike Markaverich was a premature baby whose experience in the incubator resulted in his blindness. Mike began playing a toy piano at age three and took lessons at Perkins School for the Blind where he attended grammar school. He graduated second in his class from Bishop Guertin High School and studied at Dartmouth College where he became interested in jazz and decided to make music his career. After attaining a graduate degree at the University of New Hampshire, Mike began his professional career on Cape Cod where he worked as a solo performer and in various combo settings in major area nightspots for over ten years. In November 1988 he moved to Sarasota where he has been a regular member of the local jazz scene. Mike has also appeared in concert in various venues, appeared on television and radio, given workshops in schools and colleges, teaches jazz piano, and has produced six of his own recordings.THE MUSIC - BY COLE PORTERNo one ever has or ever will write music like Cole Porter. His sophisticated lyrics and unusual song forms make him unique among the popular composers of his day. Although his music is timeless, the songs in this collection are representations of his professional career which spanned 1929 through 1956. Cole Porter published over 400 songs. Which ones do you choose? Here are notes on our selections:It's All Right With Me is from Can-Can (1953), Cole's 2nd longest running musical which was panned by the critics and loved by the audiences. Thanks to the power of recordings it was listed by Variety as one of the top tunes of the year in 1953.Miss Otis Regrets (1934) was originally written for a show called Ever Yours which was never produced. A high-class version of the woman-done-wrong classic, "Frankie and Johnnie", it quickly became a favorite in New York and in Europe, but was never popular in the rest of the U.S.In the Still of the Night (1937) was in danger of being dropped from the show Rosalie because Nelson Eddy thought it was impossible to sing. Porter went to the producer who burst into tears when he heard the song and ordered Eddy to sing it. The lyrics are eloquent, voicing the doubts of a person deeply in love but unsure he is loved in return and was written with Cole's lover at the time, Ed Tauch, in mind. Don't Fence Me In (1934) was Cole's least favorite song and certainly does not have the usual Cole Porter signature. Originally written for an unproduced musical, Adios Argentina, it was based on text by an engineer who was also a poet, Bob Fletcher. Cole bought the poem from him for $250 and adapted it. Ten years later, Warner Bros. resurrected the song for Roy Rogers to sing in the movie, Hollywood Canteen. Many people heard the song for the first time when Kate Smith introduced it on her 10/8/44 radio broadcast. The song took off, ...
