Tones for Joan's Bones cover art

The debut album from piano virtuoso Chick Corea as a leader. This powerful session is a key document of the adventurous post-bop style of the mid-1960s, blending the high-energy drive of hard bop with advanced harmonies and a sophisticated, slightly Latin-tinged rhythmic feel. It features brilliant, exploratory solos from Corea and trumpeter Woody Shaw, pointing the way toward the jazz fusion movement to come.
