This 1981 album by prolific jazz and fusion artist Chick Corea is one of his most enduring titles, full of passionate interplay between saxophonist Michael Brecker, bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Steve Gadd. Though the pianist’s arrangements are fully modern jazz, Corea was initially inspired by classical compositions for string quartets when writing the suite. These outstanding three quartet pieces (“Quartet No. 2” is split into two parts) include sections dedicated to such jazz luminaries as Duke Ellington and John Coltrane.
