![]() In fretless whiz kid Bunny Brunel and drummer Tom Brechtlein Corea had one of his most flexible rhythm sections to date. From the opening progressive rock affect of “The Golden Dawn” to Corea’s filtered, unconventional approach to Latin music on “Central Park” (featuring a lithe Minimoog solo and a visceral timbale spot for Airto Moreira), Corea’s eclectic aesthetic leaves few stylistic stones unturned. But while the sonic palette is similar to The Leprechaun and The Mad Hatter, Secret Agent plays more as a collection of discrete songs, freed from high concept. Secret Agent builds on the final RTF incarnation, featuring a horn section and string trio on most tracks. Given the half-dozen Corea albums released in 1978, it’s easy to lose track of his most noteworthy efforts, especially the concept-driven The Mad Hatter and the intimate Latin-jazz quartet date Friends.
