eviewed: 2019-06-30 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Corea & his new band revisit songs from his classic albums My Spanish Heart and Touchstone. The Spanish Heart Band is a multi-cultural octet playing both these classic and new compositions with guest vocalist appearances. The music covers Spanish, Latin, and flamenco traditions with his own compositions This music brings together not only the forms of Spanish and Latin music but elements of classical (Stravinsky) and the funk and fusion that have been the hallmarks of Corea’s sound. It’s a cornucopia of influences.
