Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of Chick Corea. I picked up this DVD hoping to get some insight into his playing, soloing, comping. I got none of that. The first part is dedicated to L. Ron Hubbard quotes, and then he spends 20 minutes reading sheet music. He does some amazing sols at times, but does not slow it down or explain any theory behind it. I paid $40 to see him read music, solo a couple of times for no reason, and preach dianetics. I did not learn one thing.

The only cool part is the jam with Patitucci and Brechtlein.

While this is an interesting hour of watching Chick excercise his chops, an instructional video it is not. Though the accompanying booklet transcribes some of what Chick playes, its post-production attempt to break down what Chick does throughout the DVD is generally insufficient. Parenthetically, the best parts of the booklet are authored by John Novello.

Note that the description on the back of the DVD includes the following:

"Chick Corea provides insights into practicing, composing and improvising. This DVD features a piece composed, developed, and performed by a trio including John Patitucci and Tom Brechtlein."

That much is included on the DVD, though you should regard my earlier comments. However, the description goes on to say (in the same paragraph), "Chick Corea was one of the first players to incorporate synthesizers into his compositions - watch as he goes into detail on how he creates sounds on his synths and how he layers them to create new textures."

Unfortunately, this is not on the DVD. I found a reference to a seperate product in the Special Features > Additional Product Previews called "Chick Corea Electronic Keyboard Workshop." Disappointing and misleading.

Fun to watch with some good tidbits but not overly helpful for advancement. Three stars minus one for the misleading product description.
