Is is the third studio album by Chick Corea, recorded over three days in May of 1969 and released on Solid State Records later that year. The album features a septet with trumpeter Woody Shaw, tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Dave Holland and drummers Jack DeJohnette & Horace Arnold.
In 2002, Blue Note Records re-released all tracks from this album, together with Sundance (1972), along with alternate takes from both albums as The Complete "Is" Sessions.
All music composed by Chick Corea except as noted.
