This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

Recorded at The Blue Note, New York, New York in December 2001. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman, Chick Corea. RENDEZVOUS IN NEW YORK was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. "Matrix" won for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo. "Armando's Rhumba" was nominated for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. One of Chick Corea's most ambitious projects was the recording of almost 60 hours of music with nine different groups over a three-week run at the Blue Note in December 2001; it must have been a challenge to choose the dozen performances for this two-CD set. The first disc begins with scat singer par excellence Bobby McFerrin joining the pianist to scat his way through three selections, including a stunning medley of an excerpt from Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" and Corea's "Spain." Bassist Miroslav Vitous and ageless drummer Roy Haynes provide the pulse to his extended work "Matrix." Corea's well-crafted tribute to Bud Powell, with Terence Blanchard and Joshua Redman in the front line, combines two of Powell's greatest works, "Glass Enclosure" and "Tempus Fugit." But Corea is at his most lyrical when old friend Gary Burton joins him to revisit the pianist's masterpiece, the shimmering "Crystal Silence." The second disc is also full of great music, though disc one clearly gets the edge, with the possible exception of the virtuoso duo piano interpretation with Gonzalo Rubalcaba of the same medley performed with McFerrin on the first CD. It is safe to say that no fan of Chick Corea will be disappointed with this wide-ranging compilation of live music, and it is also a great starting point for those not familiar with his voluminous works. Highly recommended. ~ Ken DrydenMojo (Publisher) (10/03, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Corea, still at a peak, is on brilliant form on this double set....A timely reminder of his range..." **Super Audio CD (SACD) Hybrid** This CD will play in standard CD players.

Chick Corea Rendezvous In New York Songs Rendezvous In New York Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   Magic Show - And a Condensed Life Inspired playing from all involved. Anyone who enjoys more than one era of Corea will find a great buy here, as this reunion of some of the greatest bands he ever led really caught fire, the performances are top-notch. Wonderful intro to Chick's style, as well, if you happen to be less familiar. Includes the great trio of Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes from 'Now He Sings, Now He Sobs," the Remembering Bud Powell Band, duos with Bobby McFerrin, Gary Burton, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba...the list goes on. A mini compendium of greatness.. Submitted by Eric (Southport, CT, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Disappointing I am a huge fan of what Chick was doing in the 70's when his Return to Forever band was cranking out tracks like 500 Miles High. This CD set, recorded in 2003, leaves me behind. I can enjoy a couple of the tracks, but am unable to follow where they are going most of the time. It all sounds pretty random to me; guess I'm getting old.
