For Several Reasons-You NEED this disc.......2002-04-30

"Inner Space" is one of the great jazz compilations ever. Unfortunately, when they transferred it to CD from the vinyl, they inexplicably and unconscionably omitted two of the finest songs on that album,"Tones for Joan's Bones" and "This is New." Who among has not bought a disc for just one song?? Well, these two omissions from "Inner Space" more than justify the expense and effort of purchasing this collaborative compilation. The disc also included some nice work I had not heard before from the other three virtuosi, but it's the two "lost" songs from Chick that make this a must have for me. In regards to reviewer #1's remarks about McCoy Tyner's "Looking Out" album, I have to agree, but then, we've all bemoaned the failure of the music industry to preserve priceless treasures in the tranisition from analog sources to digital. Sic transit gloria mundi.

good cd but mistaken.......2002-03-06

I'M A HUGE FAN OF MCCOY TYNER'S WONDERFUL COMPOSITIONS AND WHEN
I SAW THE NAMES HERBIE HANCOCK AND CHICK COREA ADDED,I WAS EXCITED.I PURCHASED THE CD,COULDN'T WAIT TO PLAY THE CD.

ALTHOUGH IT'S A GOOD RECORDING THAT ALSO FEATURES KEITH JARRETT,.IT WASN'T THE CD I THOUGHT IT WAS.I MADE THE MISTAKE THAT WE ALL HAVE MADE WHEN PURCHASING A CD.I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS ANOTHER CD,POSSIBLY REPACKAGED. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SUPERIOR RECORDING "LOOKING OUT", ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL WHICH ALSO FEATURED HERBIE HANCOCK,STANLEY CLARK,CHICK COREA AND ON THREE SONGS,THE BEAUTIFUL PHYLLIS HYMAN.
ALTHOUGH I WAS PLEASED WITH THIS CD AND WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY THIS CD,I'M BAFFLED THAT "LOOKING OUT", IS NOT AVAILABLE IN MCCOY'S TREMENDOUS DISCOGRAPHY.

Comments on a bad review.......2001-12-31

...The full contents of the "Tones For Joan's Bones" LP are easily available on at least three CDs. The vinyl (and now CD) album "Inner Space" was only intended as a compilation of Chick's early recordings. The CD easily contains 12 bucks' worth of quality music, and 4 of its tracks are not available anywhere else, as far as I know.

To call Michael Cuscuna an "idiot producer" is grossly unfair. ... Michael is well-known for his many years of superb reissue production, and is nothing if not very generous with bonus tracks and alternate takes. Jazz collectors owe him a HUGE debt. He has thoroughly scoured the vaults of many a record company, and issued countless treasures.

In the case of the "Inner Space" CD, the notes clearly say that Michael Cuscuna didn't even produce it. It was produced by a Bob Porter. (Michael only produced the 70s vinyl version.)

Eclectic.......2001-04-01

There are 2 definitive Chick Corea recordings, in my mind anyway, "The Best of Chick Corea" on Blue Note and the recording "Inner Space", on vinyl. On "Inner Space", the idiot producer, Michael Cuscuna, left off the 2 best cuts on the recording. This CD completes the session. "Tones for Jones Bones" is one of my all-time favorite piano trio recordings. I have listened to this cut for almost 30 years, since the original LP came out, and it is still just as fresh and exciting as when it was first recorded. Chick's playing is just genius and the tune itself is a very beautiful melody. "This is New" is also a great cut.
There are 2 Keith Jarrett tunes on this recording, both of them very good. 'Margot' is a simple, but beautiful piece played in the classic Jarrett style -- absolutely astonishingly brilliant moments followed by boring runs all over the keyboard. Jarrett plays most of this cut in melodic style. The other cut is "Love #1", another pretty tune.
There are 2 McCoy Tyner cuts, both of them good, but not outstanding. Definitely not the pianist's best work. The same can be said for the 2 Herbie cuts.
In short, the music from Jarrett and Corea are the highlights of this recording.

A Pleasant Sampler.......2001-02-14

There 4 pianists fit well together on one CD sampler: their styles are all somewhat similar. You won't encounter any AABA form song structures on this CD. However the music is all diatonic, by which I mean there are discernable chord progressions taking place and the music is generally melodic. This is the kind of CD that I will probably listen to every couple of months to remind myself about these guys' piano styles while, meanwhile, I listen to lots and lots of classic jazz pianists such as Bud Powell (bebop), Barry Harris (bepop), Art Tatum (swinging standards), Bill Evans (melodic jazz with a classical influence), etc.
