Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 is the seventh solo album by Chick Corea, recorded over two days in April 1971 and released on ECM later that year. These sessions, featuring a solo Corea on acoustic piano, also produced the subsequent Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 released March the following year. These two albums served as a bridge of sorts between Corea's experimental acoustic works in Circle and his more accessible work with Return to Forever.
