Chick Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs

This adventurous yet lyrical trio LP was Chick Corea's career breakthrough album, establishing him as a significant pianist and composer. Over three days 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".

Rava / D'Andrea / Vitous / Humair - QUATRE (1989 GALA records)

This is the first (of two) record of an european all-star quartet from late eighties. The group is made by the italians Enrico Rava on trumpet and Franco D'andrea on piano, swiss drummer Daniel Humair and Miroslav Vitous on bass. Each member contributes with nice compositions and the collective spirit is impressive, fed by the lyrical voice of Rava, the subtle harmonies of D'Andrea's piano and the variety of rhythms and timbres produced by Humair and Vitous.
