Georges Cziffra was one of the best ever piano virtuoso the earth had known

For some delightful piano trio music, Chick's two Trio albums with Christian McBride and Brian Blade are superb. It's acoustic instruments.It is a nice tune.
Anyway, I only have four albums, plus the live anthology, but by FAR my favorite is Romantic Warrior. That's a heavy album full of energy, but It's more a jazz-rock / jazz fusion album than any of the others I have. And yes, it features Al Di Meola.
The other albums are just a little too "light" for me. That said, I also really like The Chick Corea Return To Forever album as well. Really dig Sometime Ago - La Fiesta on that album.
I guess that's a matter of perspectiveGeorges Cziffra was one of the best ever piano virtuoso the earth had known
You can add Simon Barere tooI guess that's a matter of perspective
Thanks for the info though
Though I've got few Chick Corea albums, I've never really gotten into him, even with his "Elecktric Bands". These are my CDs, but I've 4 more on vinyl only.

Just curious - classical?
Chick's Elektric Band is okay, but I prefer his acoustic piano music (except for Return to Forever, which was a great band). Some pianists are more interesting on electric and synthesizers, for example Joe Zawinul. Chick's acoustic work has so much emotion ...Though I've got few Chick Corea albums, I've never really gotten into him, even with his "Elecktric Bands".

That said, I really need to add that Evening with Herbie Hancock / Chick Corea album to my collection.
Just something I've been meaning to get but never did. I do remember seeing it when it was released, but I wasn't that deep into jazz then, and hadn't heard anything from it on the radio station (WBLS) during their jazz hours.
Have you listened to Where Have I Known You Before? Masterful synth work and piano interludes / circa 1974. Saw them at Boston Symphony Hall that tour - I was transfixed!
Yes - tremendous. That's the first Return to Forever album with Al DiMeola on guitar. I bet that show was awesome! Chick, Al, Stanley Clarke bass and Lenny White on drums. Whoa!
