    Chick Corea is not Spanish - he's an Italian-American guy from Boston.

    Maybe here my translation was bad, sorry: I´m not saying that Corea is spanish ... back in those days, some referred to Jordi as a "spanish" Corea, does it make sense to you now?.

    Anyway, don´t like this comparisons BTW!.

    Liked that description too.

    I had to check it out , but you're right, he's from Massachusetts, though I don't find "Corea" a typically Italian name (like NY Al DiMeola) .... For some reasons, I thought je was Puerto Rican, and this was reinforced by his many Spanish/Latino American musical tendencies ... especially his Spanish Heart album from 76...

    Oddly enough, ADM (who is purely Italian descent) also had an obsession with Spanish music as evidenced in his first two solo album.
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    According to that user-contributed online encyclopedia thingy, he’s of Spanish and Southern Italian descent. So you’re both, sort of, right.

    trust wiki... it's always right
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Late to the party on this one as I was away when this was featured. I gave this a fresh spin last night, and as always I really enjoyed it. One of my favorites from Spain for sure. A great mix of Prog, Fusion and the Flamenco element coming from Toti Soler.

    I'm now spinning the Jordi Sabates 2/1 I have with Jordi Sabates/Toti soler and Tot L'enyor de Dema on it. Haven't heard this one in ages, but I spin Ocells del Mes Enlla quite a bit.

    BIll

    With Joe Beck and some kind of Tony Levin (the same that we know?)



    A later rock-flamenco album by Sabicas, from 1971, with studio player Mike Deasy...
