You do not know what is happening with me on this one, but it seems that the more I listen, the better the Stars topics. To The Stars is just one of the best CD of Chick Corea to date.

I wish he was not the case, but it's not every day that I get a CD from an artist that I can just insert in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end . There is usually one or two songs that I can not force me to go through. Not at all the case with the stars. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.

One of the most enjoyable things about a CD like this when the talent is as rich, even if Jazz is not your favorite style you still can not help but measure the greatness of the artist.

If you're even slightly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Across To The Stars is a great version. I give my thumbs double. You will not be disappointed with a single track.

Although this CD is completely outstanding some of my favorites are track 6 - Johnny's Landing Runway 12 - The long passage, and GT3

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - Check Blast. Outstanding!
