Chick Corea: Now He Sings, Now He Sobs Double Bass CD

13 great performances by Chick Corea (Piano), Miroslav Vitous (Double Bass), and Roy Haynes (Drums) recorded in three days in 1968.

This adventurous trio LP was Chick Corea's career breakthrough album, establishing him as a significant pianist and composer. In a very short amount of time in March 1968, Corea recorded with Miroslav Vitous and Haynes (they have since reunited many times over past 34 years) and produced a total of 13 great performances only five of which were used on the original albums. The material ranged from soon-to-be Corea classics like "Matrix" and "Windows" to extended improvised pieces like the title tune to creative interpretations of Monk's "Pannonica" and "My One And Only Love".

It may be a breakthrough album for the pianist, but this CD is highly enjoyable no matter what instrument you play.
