Chick Corea
Electric Piano Solo on
Light as a Feather

About

Chick Corea's electric piano solo is the opening of 3 solos on this recording, followed by Joe Farrell on tenor sax. Spanning four choruses of the 22-bar form at a moderate 130 BPM with a latin feel in G, the solo runs approximately 2:41. Corea's four-chorus electric piano solo is characteristically inventive, blending bebop vocabulary with the atmospheric textures made possible by the Fender Rhodes. Chick Corea was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 1972 recording. "Light as a Feather" is a jazz fusion composition by Stanley Clarke, with lyrics by Flora Purim, written in 1972 for the Return to Forever album of the same name.
