1972 LP ECM Records ECM-1020

Recorded in April 21, 1971 - April 22, 1971 Ame Bendiksen Studio, Oslo, Norway.

Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 is an album recorded by Chick Corea and released in 1972. The album, along with its counterpart Piano Improvisations Vol. 1, was recorded over the course of two days in Oslo, Norway. The two albums in the Piano Improvisations series serve as a sort of bridge between Corea's other works in Circle and Return to Forever. In addition to seven original pieces written by Corea, he interprets Wayne Shorter's "Masqualero" and Thelonious Monk's "Trinkle, Tinkle". The only musician featured on the album is Chick Corea on piano.



This is the second of two LPs recorded by Chick Corea shortly after he broke up the avant-garde quartet Circle, saying that he wanted to communicate to a larger audience. As with the first set, these brief sketches are melodic and a bit precious but contain some strong moments. In addition to seven Corea originals, he interprets Thelonious Monk's "Trinkle Tinkle" and Wayne Shorter's "Masquellero." Not essential but worth acquiring.

Scott Yanow - All Music Guide



Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 represents an even broader cross-section of the evolving Corea than Vol. 1 — featuring, in addition to the pianist’s own work, brief covers of Thelonious Monk’s “Trinkle Tinkle” and Shorter’s “Masqualero.” Both demonstrated that his inherent love of the tradition had remained intact through his avant years, even as he inserted his own particular sense of comic quirkiness into the Monk and the kind of dramatic majesty and sheer virtuosity in the Shorter.
