Chick Corea and Lionel Hampton - Live at Midem (1978)

MIDEM (short for Marché International du Disque et de l'Edition Musicale) is the world's largest music industry trade fair, which has been held annually at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, since 1967. Bringing together musicians, businesspeople, cultural policy makers, and journalists from many countries, it provides a forum for business talks, discussing political and legal issues, and showcasing new artists, musical trends and music-related products.

This recording was recorded live at MIDEM on January 22, 1978. The brief liner notes appear to be in error when they mention 1980. I like both Chick Corea and Lionel Hampton, so I love this recording. Long out of print I think it deserves a hearing.

Track Listing:

1. Sea Breeze
2. Moment's Notice
3. Come Rain or Come Shine
4. Fiesta Piano Solo
5. I Ain't Mad at You
