Record Corner .H® Berry ' ON THE JAZZ SCENE... Mr. jazz piano himseh . Chick Corea.. -has released ye* another new LP on faiydw Reocrds Chick'· "Mad Hat ter" LP i> just getting the airplay it deserve*.-but he's got a newer called "Friends." Chick says be just released the feeling to produce on album for all of his friends. On this album, they are Joe Fairell on flute, Eddie Gomez an acouttic bass, and percus sionist Steve Gadd. Chick's a classic example of a musician playing exactly what he wants to...concerned leas about success...and more about being Chick. The re sult: progressive., sometime· furious jazz music...that most ly friends, and fans will appre ciate. By the way, the album cover is especially amusing. "Tropico" is new from Gato Barbieri.-.on AAM Records... This album doesn't represent a radical departure from Gato's style...but there's a slight change. Gato may havje Carlos Santana to thank for that. Santa na makrs a guest appearance on "Latin Lady"...with memorable solo. Good steady, relaxing music ...which finds Gato again com bining some Latin beats with American jazz sounds. Besides the song Barfaieri and Snntrnm tAam im on...the other highlight of the album is Gato's version of Roberta Flack and Danny Hatha way's "Where Is the Love." Flutist Tim Weisberg and his quintet have released their second LP on United Artist Records. This one's called "Rotations." Weisberg turned a lot of beads with bis debut "TWB" album last year.Jria second album I find even better than the first. Weisberg's band somewhat reminds you of Passport... strong born section.. .and strong arrangement.. The music seems «41 organized, and that makes it easy to listen to.

One of the best party albums on the market now is the new LP from a new group called Atlantic Starr. Their debut album la on Aftli Beconk... and the cut everybody's turn ing on to is "Stand Up," a* basic hard hitting heavy funk This new nine man band must be AUfs a— to Mas· Production and Brass Construction...in many ways...they sound much alike. Another higtiHflti*» on the album is "Being In Love With You Is So Much Fan." Hiis album will make a good first impression an a lot of listeners. Speaking of Brat impres sions...that's the name of the lead song on a new album from the Stylistics. The LP is entitled, "In Fashion," and it's the best album this group has had in years. This group was on top of the music world in early 1970's . but when they dropped Thorn Bell to go with disco man Van McCoy...things started going bad. It doesn't sound like there is any more of that in their music, new producer Teddy Randazzo has the group sing ing songs they should be. slow, mellow ballads.
