11/7/2007 4:18:05 AM Spain I've taught this same version of 'Spain' several times now. I use this piece as one of several options when teaching Jazz Standards. I demonstrate several pieces from Brubeck, Gershwin, even other Chick Corea pieces, and let my students choose their own repertoire, but, the kids just love 'Spain', and consequently choose it more frequently than other standards. They play it well when they're finished studying it as a result. I like this arrangement myself, and have actually improvised from it in performance!

The story behind a modern jazz standard AP Images The son of a trumpeter in a Dixieland band, the virtuosic keyboardist Chick Corea is revered as one of the principal alchemists in the fusion of jazz with rock, funk, and Latin music. After recording his seminal 1968 album, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, he replaced Herbie Hancock as the piano chair in Miles Davis's band—the band that recorded such classic albums as Bitches Brew.

Throughout his eclectic career, Corea has collaborated with vibraphonist Gary Burton and banjoist Bela Fleck, pioneered the use of the Fender Rhodes electric piano, and won 16 Grammys. In 1972 he founded the jazz fusion group Return to Forever, which he's steered through several lives—including Return to Forever IV, which recently concluded its 2011 World Tour. Here, Corea shares the original sheet music for 'Spain,' a composition for the group's 1972 sophomore album, Light as a Feather.

By 1976 or so, I started to tire of the song. I started playing really perverted versions of it-I'd refer to it just for a second, then I'd go off on an improvisation. Once the acoustic band was in action, sometime around '85, I decided to try my hand at a rearrangement of the piece. Then there was the orchestral arrangement. Even with my current band, Return to Forever IV, we're still playing 'Spain.'

We've gone back to the original arrangement. Click the images below to enlarge Maybe another tune will come to the forefront. Probably not, at this part of my life. I don't know. I don't think any artist really knows why a song gets popular.

A lot of artists say, we'll, it was a sing-able melody, the rhythm was infectious. You could surmise a lot. The constant challenge is not so much the creative process, but the challenge of presenting an idea to the public. It's a constant challenge to get your arrangement and musical expression across to a new audience, especially when you're playing live every night, like we are.
