Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 is a studio album (and second solo piano album) by jazz pianist Chick Corea, recorded over two days in April 1971 and released on ECM in March 1972. It was recorded at the same session as Piano Improvisations Vol. 1, released the previous year.

Background

The two Piano Improvisations albums serve as a sort of bridge between Corea's largely free work in Circle and his more melodic Return to Forever music. [5]

Liner notes

On the back cover of the album Corea writes: "This music was created out of the desire to communicate and share the dream of a better life with people everywhere," a theme continued from A.R.C. (Affinity, Reality, Communication), also released the year previously—an expression his deepening interest in Scientology.
