Piano Improvisations Vol. 1

Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 is the seventh solo album by Chick Corea, recorded and released in 1971 by the Munich based German record company ECM. It features solo performances on acoustic piano and was recorded over the course of two days in Oslo, Norway. These sessions also produced the subsequent Piano Improvisations Vol. 2. These two albums served as a bridge of sorts between Corea's experimental acoustic works in Circle and his more accessible work with Return to Forever.
