Not sure how many of you are the type to wonder what the hell that soloist played there…
I was ill today and so started on something I’ve been meaning to do for some time as a learning exercise – see what some of my favourite players are actually playing over those changes. This is an old favourite; Chick Corea’s solo from Spain as recorded with Return to Forever in 1972.
I can’t guarantee its complete accuracy, and you’ll note that I’ve gone for the approach of notating rhythmically as it sounds against the beat (so anticipated/swung beats appear as heard).
The left hand rhythm mostly seems to be tapping out a clave… though almost always pushing ahead of the beat – along with Stanley Clarke’s bass line which I haven’t jotted down.
'Spain' is an instrumentaljazz fusion composition by jazzpianist and composerChick Corea. It is likely Corea's most recognized piece, and is considered a jazz standard.[1]
'Spain' was composed in 1971 and appeared in its original (and most well-known) rendition on the album Light as a Feather, with performances by Corea (Rhodes electric piano), Airto Moreira (drums), Flora Purim (vocals and percussion), Stanley Clarke (bass), and Joe Farrell (flute). It has been recorded in several versions, by Corea himself as well as by other artists, including a flamenco version by Paco de Lucía, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin in the 1980s, and a progressive bluegrass version by Béla Fleck in 1979. A version with lyrics by Al Jarreau, 'Spain (I Can Recall)', appeared on the 1980 album This Time. More recently, Corea has performed his composition as a duo with Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara. A version of 'Spain' was performed by Stevie Wonder at his 2008 Concert in London. The introduction used in the song is from Concierto de Aranjuez, a guitar concerto by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo.
The Light as a Feather version of 'Spain' received two Grammy nominations, for Best Instrumental Arrangement and for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Group. In 2001, Corea was awarded the Best Instrumental Arrangement Grammy for 'Spain for Sextet and Orchestra'.
Composition[edit]
Corea opens the Light as a Feather version of 'Spain' with the adagio from Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. After the intro, the song switches to a fast, steady samba-like rhythm, in which the main theme and an improvisation part are repeated.
The chord progression used during the improvisation part is based on harmonic progressions in Rodrigo's concerto. It runs as follows:
In line with jazz philosophy, other interpretations of the song are structured differently and sometimes only retain the main theme or parts of it.In the Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin version some chords are altered in parts, including the F#7 to F#7b9 or F#7aug and C#7 to C#7#9.
