1972 studio album by Chick Corea
Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 is an album recorded by Chick Corea and released in 1972. Like his previous album, it features Corea playing solo on acoustic piano.
The album, along with its counterpart Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 (1971), was recorded over the course of two days in Oslo , Norway . The two albums in the Piano Improvisations series serve as a sort of bridge between Corea's other works in Circle and Return to Forever . In addition to seven original pieces written by Corea, he interprets his former Miles Davis bandmate Wayne Shorter's "Masqualero", and fellow pianist Thelonious Monk's "Trinkle, Tinkle ".
