The Song of Singing is Chick Corea's fifth solo recording, released in 1970.

The album features a trio with Barry Altschul on drums and Dave Holland on bass (together with Corea making up three fourths of Circle). The setting of the album is free and spontaneous with a few scripted pieces to keep everything on track. The lone piece composed by someone not in the band, Wayne Shorter's Nefertiti is now considered a jazz standard.

Track listing

"Toy Room" (Holland) – 5:51
"Ballad I" (Altschul, Corea, Holland) – 4:17
"Rhymes" (Corea) – 6:50
"Flesh" (Corea) – 6:06
"Ballad III" (Altschul, Corea, Holland) – 5:34
"Nefertiti" (Shorter) – 7:05

Reaction

Scott Yenow, in his allmusic.com review says: "this music is rather free and avant-garde but rewards close listenings."
