In my opinion, Chick's solo work must definitely included in progArchives.
 
even just for albums such as 'my Spanish heart', 'the Leprechaun' and such. not to mention that the man has amazing work with all sort of ensembles, from duo's to almost fully orchastration.
 
I've noticed (it wasnt too dificult) that Chick's work still does not included, while almost every important Jazz rock artists from the seventies included - Larry Coriel, Jack theJonnate, Jean-look ponty, - just too name a few.
 
Somehow I got the filling that the Jazz rock team as a whole, doesnt like Chick's work too much. If so, maybe better not to include it here - I wont like to read too many bushes about this music.
 
If there are other reasons, ot other peaple tastes - please inform.
 
I would like to hear what is your opinion, without argueing too much.

Well, at least a part of his work is included actually:

COREA ELEKTRIC BAND, CHICK

I've got one Electrik band album and really don't care for it.  Kind of that fusion that doesn't give fusion a good name.  My Spanish Heart is much much better.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Of course the JR team discussed Corea long ago. This site does not like it when we add fusion artists with large non-fusion discogs. This is the case with Corea of course. We did our best compromise by adding RTF and Elektrik band which gets most of his fusion albums on here without any extra jazz or avant-garde jazz of which Corea has plenty in his entire discog.
