About

<i>Tones for Joan’s Bones</i> finds a 27-year-old Chick Corea—destined to become one of the biggest names in jazz history—fronting an extraordinary quintet and establishing an intensely rhythmic yet profoundly lyrical sound that has remained distinctively his own for decade. Produced by Corea’s erstwhile employer Herbie Mann in late 1966 for the Atlantic subsidiary Vortex (for which Keith Jarrett recorded his debut just six months later), the album contains three Corea originals and a stylistically representative arrangement of Kurt Weill’s seldom played “This Is New.” But two more Corea gems recorded on the same session, “Inner Space” and “Guijira,” got shelved until 1973 when they appeared on the Atlantic compilation <i>Inner Space</i> (alongside “Litha” and “Straight Up and Down”). .
