5.0 out of 5 stars "the world of jazz according to Chick Corea", June 24, 2003

The people from Stretch and Concord Records never seize to amaze me with their latest release from Chick Corea "Rendezvous in New York", featuring the talented Bobby McFerrin scatting his way through three tunes, one being "BLUE MONK" in a classic performance.

Several highlights come to mind "GLASS ENCLOSURE/TEMPUS FUGIT", a tribute to the Bud Powell Band ~ "CRYSTAL SILENCE", featuring Chick along with Gary Burton as two master musicians work so well together ~ "LIFELINE", gives us the Chick New Trio, with some bright spots to enjoy.

Listen Jazz fans, this is one not to miss ~ should be on top of the stack you play every week. The recording is crisp and clear as a bell. An intimate evening with classical crossovers into the World of Jazz by Corea!

Total: 2-CD-Set ~ Stretch Records 9041 ~ (4/22/2003)

Although his technical prowess on the ivories can sometimes overshadow emotional involvement, Corea's intimate but epic recordings here show why he still remains one of the most vital and versatile jazz pianists several decades still after arrival.

5.0 out of 5 stars Destined to be a classic and a reason to own SACD, February 8, 2004

Jazz fans, this album is destined to be ranked as one of the great live jazz concert albums of all time, right up there with 'Live at the Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz for Debbie'.

The partnering performances with Chick range from the whimsical and eclectic (e.g. Bobby McFarrin) to the lyrical and inspired (Joshua Redman).

And, to top it all off, this is a sonically incredible recording, available as both a 'regular' CD and SACD off the same disk...and for those of you who don't yet have an SACD player, this album is a heck of a reason to get one!
