5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Chick -- Hot Fusion Jazz, October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mad Hatter (Audio CD)

After years of being a fanatic Chick Corea fan, this 1978 (I think) release is STILL one of my favorite Chick albums. It may even be my #1 favorite...though I guess that depends on the day...but anyway, this album is hot, hot hot! One of the best moments is a "duet" between Steve Gadd and Chick on "Dear Alice." One would never have believed that drums and piano could establish such intriguing interplay. Another highlight is an amazing flute solo from the great Joe Farrell on "Falling Alice." This is one of the greatest fusion albums of all time. No Chick Corea collection is complete without it.

This project is the icing on the '70's fusion jazz cake. The best fusion projects are The Romatic Warrior and the Mad Hatter. I can not leave out the My Spanish Heart Project which also topped the jazz charts of that era. Gayle Moran added her vocal flair on the Mad Hatter project that I enjoyed listing to at the Greek Amphitheater in Hollywood, CA. He and his orgestra finished their world tour at the Greek which featured not only the Mad Hatter Project, but most of the RTF Song Book. If the Amphitheater had a roof, the band would have raised it. This Project tells a musical story that is very creative and technically sound. This project features musical arrangements can be studied by all musicans, regardless of their skill level. Once I have purchased this project, my collection of the three most powerful fusion projects of all times will be complete.
