Returned to Forever: The Chick Corea's Songbook, Part 1

Click the play button to listen

We celebrate the legacy of the late Chick Corea with his countless recordings as a leader or sideman, a body of compositions that have already expanded the jazz canon and will continue to do so in the coming years. In this first part of the programme we'll focus in particular on his "Spanish Heart" and his "Children's Songs" cycle.
