Chick Corea - The Leprechaun (1975)


Frilly, fantastical, synth-y fusion from the one and only Chick Corea. The Leprechaun is certainly not Corea's most essential recording -- anyone looking for that might look into Tones for Joan's Bones or Light As a Feather -- but I just picked it up on vinyl and it's an absolute delight to listen to, so it's what y'all are getting.

Track listing:
1. Imp's Welcome
2. Lenore
3. Reverie
4. Looking at the World
5. Nite Sprite
6. Soft and Gentle
7. Pixiland Rag
8. Leprechaun's Dream

What game shall we play today?
