    For those pianists out there, Chick's substitutions are from the top Fm6/G, G7b9, Csus, C7, then Bm, E7Alt, Am11, A7 and so on. Beautiful.

    Jeff Ballard smoked me out right before a show he did with a tenor sax player at the Copenhagen Jazz festival in 2013. I just randomly walked up at the right time and commented on the nice smell and without knowing what he looked like yet (but had definitely heard with Brad Mehldau), ended up smoking with him just moments before he walked in and performed an amazing show. I remember getting a beer and sitting on the floor right in front of him and his use of hands/mallets and alternatives to the traditional stick.

    Over the years, Chick Corea has assembled some of the finest trios with some amazing rhythm sections, Roy Haynes + Miroslav Vitous, the Akoustic Band with Dave Weckl & John Patitucci, Stanley Clarke + Lenny White as well as The New Trio with Cohen & Ballard just to name a few, but this one i would definitely them rank up there in terms of terms of great listening and chemistry. The highlight of this piece is Esperanza Spalding's bass solo, she's such an incredible bassist and it's really nice to see her skills be put on display here, i really hope that Corea makes a new album with these guys as this trio absolutely rocks!!!

    One, surely giving Saint Peter, tuitions in harmony & improvisation. The, other, a path breaker, if am not mistaken, who trod on the toes of the male dominated Accoustic bass to carve a niche for herself.
    The self effacing Jeff Ballard completes the picture.
    I am blessed
    I am privileged.

      @@reidwhitton6248 I am a jazz pianist so when I ask that question it's kinda selfish because I don't hear any particular advantage to the modern bass sound which seems to entail "less" sustain. We all want the bass on an equal footing. I just dig that dark sustain growl associated with a less woody thumpy thudy sound.

    Wow I was lucky enough to see her join Return to Forever (no DiMeola) here in San Diego in 2008? at the Apostrophe club! Yes I may have also, but it's hard to remember, seen her briefly before probably at one of the Playboy Jazz Festivals at the Hollywood Bowl but I saw so many folks there that's why it's difficult to recall otherwise one would think she's pretty unforgettable.
    Yet I certainly do remember seeing Return to Forever long ago (also no DiMeola) at the Santa Monica Civic in '77 and then later in '83 with DiMeola; as well as Chick with Herbie Hancock and both his electric and acoustic bands. So I hate to brag but I must count my blessings and seeing Chick is certainly one of them!
