The late, genius pianist Chick Corea knew there is power in numbers. Many of his finest live recordings feature his working quartet at the time or a duo with a brilliant partner. With this version of "Autumn Leaves," Corea achieved the pinnacle of both formats. Guest singer Bobby McFerrin co-vamps over the extended introduction, inventing patterns, mimicking jungle sounds and displaying more vocal elasticity then a freshly-opened packet of rubber bands. Once the melody of the song is revealed at [2:38] and the hard swinging bottom of John Patitucci on bass and Tom Brechtlein on drums kicks in, the band is off on a high-energy expedition you cannot stop enjoying… for years.
