"Tones for Joan's Bones" is Chick Corea's first album as a leader. The album features only four tracks, but is still over forty minutes long. The album is quite a rare find in its original form and is more commonly found in compilation with Miroslav Vitouš' album "Mountain In The Clouds". Two tracks ("Tones for..." and "This Is New") are also available on an Atlantic Record compilation, "Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, McCoy Tyner". The whole album was also released on two-LP set "Inner Space" in early 1970s. The CD reissue of "Inner Space", however, omits second and third track due to time limitations.
