Plays – Chick Corea

Plays (2020), released on the Concord Jazz label, is the latest addition to Chick Corea's remarkable discography.

Corea's solo piano work explores a wide range of his musical influences, from the classical repertoire of Mozart, Chopin and Scriabin to the jazz of Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans, to the bossa nova beauty of Jobim and the modern pop sensibility of Stevie Wonder.

Plays would not be complete without a few classics from Corea's own collection, which have become standards over the last half-century.
