Do check out ‘Down With It’ and ‘The Thing To Do’ on Blue Note, as well. Both feature Corea on piano.
An elderly family friend recently gifted me some older records from his collection. This one is from 1967, and it had a really interesting inner sleeve
Discovered Takuya Kuroda while flipping through a playlist on Apple Music.
Turns out he was born in Japan, studied at Berkelee, and was the first Japanese musician to be signed up by Blue Note.
This 2014 album is widely regarded as his masterpiece, and it’s a stunner. Kuroda reminds me of Miles Davis and Erik Truffaz, but his music is totally his own. Definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard by a modern jazzman.

A true giant of jazz — RIP Jack DeJohnette.
Jack DeJohnette was more than a jazz drummer – his staggering range made him a superhuman force in music
With a complex playing style that was nevertheless generous towards other musicians, the US musician was in a category all of his own
This one brings to mind the two Blue Note albums by Hutcherson and Tyner; exotic modal jazz with undercurrents of the avant garde. The vibes and piano combo create a beautiful sound. Motohiko Hino is surprisingly delicate on the drums.
On a Chick trip today (no, not that guys!)
The first album is a short-lived supergroup from the 80s. Their objective was to replicate the hard bop feel and sound of classic Blue Notes from the early 60s. And, man, do they deliver! With a lineup like that, the interplay between these masters is just outstanding.
The second is a Corea classic. For me, Stanley Clarke is the beating heart of this album, propelling the others to race around your veins.

Sophisticated post-bop from four jazz titans with impeccable chemistry.
Out There is the latest album by pianist Hiromi and her Sonicwonder band.
It’s an absolute blast with everything from video game synths, to a gorgeous vocal number. The bassist, who I’m not familiar with, is especially great. Plus, there’s Adam O’Farill on trumpet to spice things up. Super stuff!
