About this album

Tap Step is a sharp, high-energy Chick Corea fusion album that brings together jazz improvisation, funk drive and Latin rhythmic colour. Released in 1980, it reflects Corea’s restless versatility at a point when he was moving freely between acoustic sophistication and electrified ensemble music. The set balances tightly written themes with open-ended group interplay, with pieces such as the title track, “Samba L.A.” and “Flamenco” pointing to his love of groove, melody and rhythmic complexity. As part of Corea’s prolific late-1970s and early-1980s output, it stands as a concise showcase of his ability to make fusion feel both technically fluent and immediately engaging.
