Romantic Warrior is one of the great fusion albums of the 70s. Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola, Lenny White -- what a band!

Ok, Light As a Feather IS attributed to Chick Corea & Return to Forever. However, the only member other than Chick featured on those two albums is Stanley Clarke. To me, these entries are really transitional albums from his solo material from the late 60s into this new era of fusion. And while they are certainly fusion records, I wouldn't call them jazz-rock fusion. Because of their difference compared to the other entries, however, I am going to include them in another poll of his earlier material. Though now that I think about it, they don't really fit with his sort of experimental modal/free jazz stuff from that time either... Regardless, I'm sticking to my initial intuition. This is not to say that they aren't GOOD enough to be listed with the rest. They are. Especially Feather. That album is not rated highly enough on this site. I adore that record. Playing 500 Miles High in college was super fun for my jazz combo.

The Elektric Band is one of my favorites also. Some of their stuff I like better than RTF. I saw them in Minneapolis MN in around 1989. The opening act was The Crusaders. At PA I'm not surprised that the Elektric Band gets a 'cool' response. As the Elektric Band is more associated with 'smooth jazz' most of the time. (BTW I love 'smooth jazz'). |

'Hymn of the 7th Galaxy'...the 'edgiest' imho...though most here will vote for Romantic Warrior ,the more accessible one.
Also the first 2 should also be here ....just because.

Romantic Warrior was my oldest jazz rock/fusion companion, so my vote goes to it/him.
R.I.P. Chick Corea |

A tribute to a great composer and keybord grand master. It's hard to choose between his albums, since they all have the magic of his genius. I voted for Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, but any of them that wins is fine with me. May he rest in peace.

Romantic Warrior was one of my first forays into the fusion world in the mid 70's. I was hooked after hearing it, and my passion for jazz and fusion has remained, forty-five years later. So, I'll vote Romantic Warrior.
The Chick Corea Elektric Band is also one of my favorite projects by Chick. I was lucky to see this incredible band on the Beneath the Mask tour. A mind blowing experience. Here at PA the Elektric Band it is overlooked and rated poorly. Alas. |

Did not know he died. Very sad. A big loss for music. None of these albums are my favorites. His first two with Mad Hatter are on the top of my list.
