Chick Corea was recently named a National Endowment for the Arts “Jazz Master”, and there is little doubt that he has total command of the idiom. Indeed, Mr. Corea is one of the few jazz musicians who has not only worked in a rainbow of styles but also has been commercially successful across the board.

He has been a delicate solo pianist, an avant-garde piano trio leader, a Miles Davis sideman, an accomplished composer and bandleader in a Latin style, a fusioneer, a Bud Powell interpreter, even a smooth jazz guy. That’s only a partial list, yet Chick has pioneered—and sold records—everywhere.

The Ultimate Adventure is a stunning record because it summarizes a huge swath of Chick’s career. It is a seamless and ingenious blend that even incorporates an element or two that are new to the Corea canon. It would be hard to call it Chick’s best album, as nearly every fan will prefer a disc that works magic in one or another favorite Corea style, but it is surely the artist’s most successful attempt to collect all that he does in one piece of music.

Mr. Corea composed these 11 multi-part suites as tone poems to match the characters and settings from a science fiction fantasy written by you know who. As a result they are inherently descriptive—like musical portraits and landscapes. At the same time, they are meant to (and do) have a sense of drama and action. The compositions are immediately recognizable as Chick’s: precise written bass lines, jaggedly pretty melodies, Latin grooves that provide plenty of room for a stabbing piano chord or a butterfly quick Rhodes solo, intricate parts-writing for flute, bass, saxophone, synth, guitar. The difference with The Ultimate Adventure is that Mr. Corea’s tunes seem effortless again—this recording seems to share something of the light-as-a-feather feel that defined the first Return to Forever band of the 1970s with Joe Farrell on flute Stanley Clarke on bass, and Airto Moreira on percussion. It’s a welcome return to a more playful Corea.
