Customer Reviews:

One of the last Milestones In Jazz Piano From 1970 onward.......2006-04-21

"Some day My Prince Will Come" is one of the few true innovative Steps In Jazz Piano of the last Thirty years.Whether Solo Or Duo-and whether it was influenced By Miles Version or not.It is compositional in it's structure.And those Bridge-Transition-Turnaround-Sections are so Rhythmically and harmonically brilliant,you have to think that CC & HH worked out much of it.The Whole thing is just so beautifuly wrought.The rest of the album is great,but SDMPWC is the reason to get this.Just Beautifil.Piano Sounds you have never heard or will hear any where else.

Great Stuff.......2004-12-27

Not much more to add after the other reviewers, just wanted to emphasize how great this album is. This is truly a must have for anyone who loves jazz piano. Track 3, "Button Up," on the first disc is simply amazing, with some of the most beautiful exchanges on the recording. (Anyone else notice the person in the audience yelling out "Christmas!" at 13:33 on that track? I can't figure it out...) Also, I would like to add, that anyone who is really intrigued and awed by Herbie's touch on the keys should check him out on a recording of Maurice Ravel's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G (especially the 2nd movement). All in all, with these guys playing together, you cannot possibly go wrong!

Absolutely outstanding.......2001-05-11

I'm generally not a fan of solo piano (or even piano duets!) but this album is fantastic. The passion and creativity of the playing makes one of those rare discs that one can listen to over and over and over again without it losing any of its freshness. Particularly breathtaking is "La Fiesta" on the 2nd disc, performed by Herbie Hancock, with its allusions to the Spanish Civil War song "Venga Jaleo." The melodic themes of that song received previous prodigious treatment by John Coltrane on "Ole," another disc I recommend as a must-have.

This disc will also appeal to your friends who say they "don't like jazz" and is a good one to play when they come over.

Incredible.......2001-02-24

this corea/hancock work is sick, and i mean that in the best possible way. i bought this in 1990 and, more than a decade later, have to conclude that it will never cease to bring me enjoyment. it's so incredible that i can't listen to it too often--this album is like a special occasion. their interaction feels seamless, like one mind possessing four hands. like the best jazz, each piece morphs into newer and more offbeat "songs" until, by the end, you're a long way from where you began. i've used this album to introduce at least a dozen people to corea, hancock, and jazz.

Wow, I am speechless........2000-11-30

This is simply amazing. Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock are two of my favorite pianists. They are both technically amazing, and compose pieces that certainly will not be forgotten by future generations. To hear them play together, live, is truly a treat. If you are a music lover you will love this. You should know there is another Chick Corea/Herbie Hancock live duet available. It is only one CD and the sound quality is a little lower, but the solo track by Chick Corea is one of his best. On this CD La Fiesta is excelent and Herbie's solo track, which is uncommon for him, is a treasure. If you love modern jazz, or either of these artists it is a must have.
