EP.02 - Chick Corea / Closeup In Swing

Host Robin D.G. Kelley is joined by pianist Chick Corea to discuss Erroll Garner’s album Closeup In Swing. Recorded during several sessions the summer of 1961, Closeup In Swing was Garner’s second Octave-era album, and was recently remastered and expanded to include a previously undiscovered Garner original, “Octave 103”. On this episode of Uncovered, learn how earlier in his career, Chick Corea overlooked Erroll Garner, but has recently come to think of Garner as one of his musical heroes.
