The Griffith Park Collection (Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, & Lenny White)

Something really cool for "Full Album Friday" this week.  We go back to 1982, and a live recording, by a quintet of true jazz masters, all of whom have been featured in various pieces and posts on this blog a number of times.  Here, is more all acoustic jazz.  This is The Griffith Park Collection featuring the quintet of Chick Corea on piano, Stanley Clarke on upright bass, Lenny White on drums, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, and Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.  The great jazz bassist, Steve Swallow, is also credited as a composer on this recording for one of the tunes played.
