I had previously no idea who he was. Having listened to his music, I now understand how good he is/was and this was a gentle introduction to this genre. Are there good jazz piano/jazz albums to listen to that people might recommend? (By him or others)

Return to Forever, Crystal Silence, Romantic Warrior, My Spanish Heart, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy. When you're done with those (I figure, five years or so :) ), then you will want to listen to everything else... My personal favorite is probably Crystal Silence, that is such an amazing piece, it never ceases to give you more joy and new bits of discovery, even when you know it note-for-note. As for other good Jazz albums, Pat Metheny, Al di Meola, Weather Report might be to your liking, and maybe McCoy Tyner, try 'Fly with the wind'. And a bit more off the beaten path, Friedrich Gulda, the 'terrorist pianist'. Enjoy! And mail me if you want more.

    Jazz is probably wider and deeper than either pop or classical, you have your work cut out for you :) But it's the best kind of work. Oh, and I forgot to mention Michel Petrucciani. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PyYcnXQZJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PyYcnXQZJY

I love a good piano jazz album because it makes typing on a computer keyboard so much more fun when you’re in a flow state. I highly recommend Bill Evans Trio: The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings and Ryo Fukui: Scenery as they are two of my go-to jams, especially the former.
- calmoo 6y ago
  Bill Evans I find is fantastic for coding / flow states, it grooves just right. I can listen to village vanguard on repeat and not even notice it flows so well.

-For something same, same but decidedly different, you could do worse than checking out Keith Jarrett. I usually recommend his Köln Concert as a starting point - a recording of a 1975 concert which even though I've probably listened to it a thousand times over the years still sounds fresh and brings a smile to my face every time I put it on. Among the contemporaries, I have a soft spot for Iiro Rantala. Oh, and Bugge Wesseltoft.
- hanche 6y ago
  The Köln and Vienna concerts are my all-time favourite Keith Jarrett recordings. Perhaps that is part nostalgia: They were the first I ever heard of him.

Disclaimer: My favorite subgenres of jazz are fusion and post-bop. A wonderful, accessible jazz album that I highly recommend for newcomers is saxophonist Michael Brecker's 1987 self-titled album, which was his first album as a band leader (though by this point he had already been a highly prolific session player). There is some great piano playing on this album. I consider Michael Brecker one of the greatest saxophonists in jazz. Unfortunately he passed away rather untimely in 2007, but thankfully he left us with a lot of wonderful music. While I'm still talking about Michael Brecker, I also recommend the albums "Steps Ahead," "Modern Times," and "Magnetic," which are all from the band Steps Ahead and feature Michael Brecker as a sideman. Don Grolnick was another wonderful pianist, and I also recommend his album "Hearts and Numbers," which features Michael Brecker. Regarding Chick Corea's work, "My Spanish Heart" is an excellent introduction, as well as "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs." The albums from his two fusion bands Return to Forever and the Chick Corea Elektric Band are also all top-notch; I recommend starting with "Romantic Warrior" for the former and "Eye of the Beholder" for the latter as definitive albums for these bands.

You have plenty of great recs at this point so there's no point to regurgitate what has already been said. (Definitely check out the late McCoy Tyner rec.) For those who haven't listened to Musicmagic before, that whole album is criminally underrated. Seriously, the name says it all. Been bumpin' to it all day!

  I saw McCoy Tyner in the early 90's at Blues Alley, and sat maybe 4 feet from the piano. Absolutely amazing experience, seeing his hands fly over the keys.

I haven't seen him mentioned in this thread, but I was introduced to the phenomenal drummer Dave Weckl through Chick Corea and his Elektric Band. In my mind, Dave is the best drummer alive today. The mix of technical and musical skills is super impressive. After Dave played with Chick and the Elektric Band he's done several albums and is all over the place sharing his gift with folks from around the world. Look him up, you won't be disappointed.

  It's fun because as a drummer not that much into jazz or fusion I got introduced to Chick Corea through Dave Weckl (which yes is the best drummer alive and maybe of all time) :) Consequently, I'm currently watching this one because my first reflex this morning was to type "Dave Weckl Chick Corea" on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XZu8DBLSs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XZu8DBLSs And speaking of Dave Weckl I can't resist posting this one with the late Didier Lockwood https://youtu.be/K-R9u-1R1FI https://youtu.be/K-R9u-1R1FI

Piano: Thelonious Monk - any album, Michel Camilo - Thru My Eyes Guitar: Pat Metheny - Orchestrion and Unity Band, Bela Fleck - Outbound Bass: Victor Wooten - Trypnotyx, Marcus Miller Sax: Michael Brecker - Tales From the Hudson, Grover Washington Jr. - Winelight, Chris Potter - Ultrahang Trumpet: Roy Hargrove - Earfood and RH Factor, Arturo Sandoval - Live at the Blue Note I saw Chick most recently at Blues Alley in DC. Amazing show and always accompanied by world class musicians. RIP

He played in the Miles Davis masterpiece Bitches Brew, that is mystical, eternal and mind-bending trip. Might be hard to grasp first, but when you get it... you'll really get it.

Chick Corea cooperated with a great many people. My personal favourite is the album “Crystal Silence” with Gary Burton, recorded in 1972 I believe.
martyvis 6y ago
I discovered Chick only a couple of years ago, through a segue from Miles Davis and then the band Return to Forever (you must listen to Romantic Warrior). My wife who is more of a classic pianist, and didn't like to many of my jazz explorations, recently had embarked on trying her hand at jazz harmonies. I ended up finding that we both quite liked listening to Erroll Garner and Bill Evans.
pdpi 6y ago
A personal favourite of mine is Play (Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin). A short list of albums I'd suggest as an introduction to Jazz, piano-based or otherwise: * Time Out (Dave Brubeck) * Spectrum (Hiromi) * Mopocalypse (Mopo) * Why? (Ginger Baker) * Your Queen is a Reptile (Sons of Kemet) Time Out is a classic, but most of these are from the 2010s.

Jazz pianist here. Among the greatest jazz pianist albums: Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles, Herbie Hancock Trio (1981) McCoy Tyner - Supertrios, The Real McCoy Keith Jarrett - Facing You, Survivors Suite, Fort Yawuh, Expectations A lot of my favourite piano/keyboard playing is on Miles Davis albums: Red Garland on Steamin'. Relaxin', Workin', Cookin', Round About Midnight, Milestones Herbie Hancock on Four & More, My Funny Valentine Keith Jarrett on Live-Evil Not to mention all the other amazing musicians on those! Among my musician friends, Miles' band with Wayne Shorter, Herbie, Ron Carter and Tony Williams (1963-68) is considered unrivalled in jazz. All Miles' records with Gil Evans' orchestra are superlative also. P.S. There's also the strange and not-very-important question of labels – I don't think Facing You (or The Köln Concert) or Live-Evil are jazz, or anywhere near it. They are played mostly by jazz musicians, I guess. Who cares, they're good music.
- Dumblydorr 6y ago
  Bill Evans and Hiromi are, for me, in the top 3 with Chick. Hiromi is a monster of technique whereas Bill is a pioneer of the Chopin Debussy style, when most jazz pianists then didn't have roots in the classical world.

    Was going to post the same. I can't go a week without listening to Bill, Chick or Hiromi at some point. There is a YouTube video of dualing pianos with Chick and Hiromi, it's one of my most watched. They are both just out of this world.
- wdbbdw 6y ago
  I'm not one of your friends, and I'm hardly a musician, but I agree that Miles' second quintet is indeed unrivaled in jazz. All of the music they made is sublime, but my favorites are the albums Filles de Kilimanjaro, Sorcerer, Water Babies, Nefertiti, and of course In A Silent Way (featuring late great Chick Corea).
aczerepinski 6y ago
One of the classics by Chick is "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs." If you (or anybody else) happen to be into vinyl, the Blue Note Tone Poet pressing of this record is excellent. Just last week I was watching a recent YouTube video of Chick explaining how he loved Roy Haynes's ride cymbal on that record so much that Roy gave it to him. He's had many of the subsequent drummers in his bands play that same cymbal. Chick was playing drums in the video and seemed to be so completely full of energy and life. I was stunned by the news of his death because he seemed to like somebody who had another 20 years ahead of him.
