Chic Corea Tap Step 1981

Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (born June 12, 1941)is an American jazz pianist, keyboardist, and composer.Many of his compositions are considered jazz standards. As a member of Miles Davis' band in the 1960s, he participated in the birth of the electric jazz fusion movement. In the 1970s he formed Return to Forever.He, along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Keith Jarrett, have been described as some of the major jazz piano voices to emerge in the post-John Coltrane era.
The music is pleasing and spirited if not all that memorable; an average release from a hugely talented jazzman.

George Benson - Weekend in L.A._ 1977

WEEKEND IN L.A. is definitely one of Benson's pop albums,he pretty much sticks to vocals on "Down Here on the Ground," for example, not touching his guitar until the final 30 seconds of the tune. Where he does play, he plays well, reprising "Ode to a Kudu" from Beyond The Blue Horizon, for example, and tossing in a quote from the Gershwins' "I Got Rhythm" during the title cut. The liner notes imply that the live tapes, recorded over two nights at the Roxy, were later enhanced in the studio.
Recorded live at the Roxy, Hollywood, California on September 30 and October 1-2, 1977.
