| Somebody know solo piano albums by this amazing dude? | |

| There is one where he plays Dolphin Dance solo... it's even more long and rambling than my playing :) Don't know the CD though... One that is REALLY cool is not quite solo, but it's the first recording of Chic Corea and Herbie Hancock doing piano duets. They did another one ten or so years ago, but it's not nearly as good as the first one. | |

| Just off the top of my head I think a lot of great solo piano playing by HH is on the recordings made with the MD quintet in the mid-60's,maybe players who have recordings like "Live At the Plugged Nickel" or some of the "European Tours" can post info re-this,I just remember hearing a lot of it,like Scot above not sure exactly where..I'm pretty sure the band lays out during his solo on "Stella" on the recordings released on CBS here in the USA....BTW,finding solo recordings of some of the many HH-influenced players will give you the "information" you need re-his playing conceptually/stylistically.. | |

| He plays one solo track on the rather eclectic album "Gerschwinn's World" and a duet track with Chick Corea. Worth getting just for about 4 tracks that are amazing | |

| Ok thank you guys, I've listened some of the recordings you've mentioned, but I wasn't sure if he has recorded a complete album of solo piano. I also can add the duet with Wayne Sorter called "1+1" there's is amazing material there, very modern and contemporary, some of you will really enjoy it. | |

| There is actually a solo piano album where he plays synthesisers on a couple of tracks. It's called "Dedication" and was only released in japan. | |
