5 out of 5 stars A prime artifact of 70's fusion.......2005-04-20

Contrary to popular opinion I feel the 70's fusion movement was the last great blast of creative energy that blew through jazz before it sunk irretrievably into a tired old formula. There has been very little in this music beyond blowing an endless stream of hot licks over a (TWO FIVE ONE) chord progression. On this album Chick takes an interesting stacatto approach to the great MINIMOOG synth. His use of multitrack vocals, double tracked piano and string quartet are also innovative and unique. Contributions from Jean-Luc Ponty and Stanley Clark add greatly to the musical interest of this fine recording, a prime artifact of the last great era of jazz.

5 out of 5 stars One of the finest albums ever.......2004-04-24

On this album, Chick Corea explores the world of spanish folk-music, without leaving his fine jazzfeelings behind. He accomplishes to make an album, that leaves you breathless, only wishing it would never stop. He proves his worth both as a pianist and a composer, as well as a bandleader. His timing and expression, combined with the worldclass rhythmsection, is a pure pleasure for the listener. Add the beautiful stringsection, the agressive horns, and, of course, Jean-Luc Pontys exclusive jazzviolin, and you have one of the best albums ever to be recorded. Pointing to the future, but still keeping an eye on the traditions, excellent!

5 out of 5 stars is other big dream of corea.......2001-12-11

Mi Corazon Espaýol (aunque debiera llamarse "Mi Corazon Hispanico") es uno de tres sorprendentes y hermosos sueýos...los otros son "Mad Hatter" y "The Leprechaun". Los tres son albumes conceptuales, en los que para apreciar la obra en su magnitud es necesario escuchar cada pieza en su contexto.
Decia que a mi juicio el nombre debiera ser "hispanico" o "Hispano" y no "espaýol" pues alguno de los ritmos que incorpora no son propiamente espaýoles sino mas bien "latinos", principalmente caribeýos y centroamericanos, y el termino "Hispanico" tiene una ascepcion mas amplia que "espaýol", pues se refiere tambien a lo latinoamericano (of Latin America).
Un gran album, aunque a mi juicio no tan logrado en su concepto como "Mad Hatter".

5 out of 5 stars Fantastical and, at times, funny!.......2001-10-03

I love hearing when a "serious" musician can have a little fun! And Chick Corea and his slew of top-bar guest musicians do just that on this disc. With the help of Steve Gadd on drums, Stan Clarke on acoustic bass, Jean-Luc Ponty on violin and Don Alias on percussion, Chick Corea (playing a arsenal of various keyed instruments) has created a thouroughly enjoyable romp through Latin-tingued fusion. A lot of this sounds very much like Polydor era RTF, but for the most part, this album is its own master, from the slick and heavey romance of 'Love Castle' to the playful 'El Bozo' and the tributary 'Spanish Fantasy'. This is an honestly fun album, and 'fun' is a word that doesn't seem to be in the vocabulary of many jazz artists. Some of the sounds may be outdated here (who uses Moogs anymore?), but the feeling and the music is timeless...
