Background

edit

The title track, "La Fiesta", was originally recorded by Corea with his quintet for Sometime Ago – La Fiesta, the working title for Return to Forever (1972), which gave birth to the pioneering jazz fusion band of the same name.

Reception

edit

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This subtle set finds Burton and Corea consistently inspiring each other through melodic and very spontaneous improvising. Well worth a close listen".[3]
