Tony Williams - Native Heart (Blue Note, 1990)
with Wallace Roney, Billy Pierce, Mulgrew Miller, and Ira Coleman (or Robert Hurst on half the cuts)

What a great band.  I love Tony's hookup with Mulgrew.  It was a perfect hand-in-glove fit.

The only Chick Corea band I ever saw in performance was his Origin group.  It was a very enjoyable, kind of loose set at Yoshi's.  Mr. Corea played piano & marimba, as he does on this CD.  I recalled really liking this disc back when it was new (1999) and was pleased to find the music still sounds holds up.  Nothing uniquely innovative, just some engaging compositions played by a very good jazz ensemble.

Listening to this one again to start off my listening day. I had forgotten how prettily Zoot plays on the soprano sax. Like Barney Wilen he has a distinct and pretty sound on all the horns he plays. 

I'm also really enjoying Tana's subtle drumming.

The single disc of that group live at the Blue Note is quite enjoyable. I picked up the box set a few years ago for a ridiculous price ($10 new, I think?!) and while it’s not perhaps Miles-at-the-Plugged-Nickel worthy, still a somewhat underrated point in the Corea discography. (There’s no overlap between the single disc and the box set, btw.)

Right now:

Perhaps my favorite Corea of the last decades, this and the live Origin material.

I love those Zoot Pablo albums in general!
