Here's a summary of what the research shows:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What I Checked\n\n- Chick Corea\u2019s **official discography** on his website lists dozens of studio, live, duo, and group albums\u2014none named *Continental Drift*. ([chickcorea.com](https://chickcorea.com/discography/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Major discography resources such as Wikipedia and All About Jazz also do **not list** *Continental Drift* among his studio or live album titles. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_Corea_discography?utm_source=openai))  \n- In addition, album collection overviews like *The Continents* (released in 2012) appear in Corea\u2019s discography and are clearly distinguishable from *Continental Drift*. ([jazztimes.com](https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/chick-corea-the-continents/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83c\udfaf Possible Reasons for Confusion\n\nThere are a few album names that might have been misremembered or conflated:\n\n- *The Continents* \u2014 a two-CD concerto piece released in 2012, dealing thematically with the continents. ([jazztimes.com](https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/chick-corea-the-continents/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Titles like *Continental*, *Cross Continental*, etc., sound similar enough to cause mix-ups.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can dig into archives of unpublished works, bootlegs, or regional-only releases to double-check. Want me to go there?"

Here's what I found regarding the possibility of an album or track called *Continental Drift*:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd26 What the sources say\n\n1. **Official Discography**  \n   Corea\u2019s official discography\u2014studio albums, live albums, major compilations\u2014does **not** list any album or piece titled *Continental Drift*. ([chickcorea.com](https://chickcorea.com/discography/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Bootleg Collections**  \n   Sites like Bootlegpedia, which tracks many obscure/unofficial Chick Corea releases and live performance tapings, **don\u2019t list** anything named *Continental Drift*.

([jazzjournal.co.uk](https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2022/10/31/chick-corea-the-montreux-years/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 Conclusion\n\nNo evidence was found from these sources that an album or track with the title *Continental Drift* exists in Chick Corea\u2019s catalog\u2014official, unofficial, or archival.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try a few next steps:\n\n- Search non-English sources to see if it was released under this title in a foreign country.\n- Look for possible translation quirks (e.g., \u201cContinental Drift\u201d being a translated name for another work).\n- Examine rare vinyl or collector-only releases via collector forums or discogs."

There is no listing of any such album that combines:\n\n- a *solo piano* performance,\n- recorded in **1995**, and\n- includes *\u2019Round Midnight* on the track list.\n\nAdditionally, I reviewed album titles from 1995 like *Time Warp*\u2014which is a studio album and doesn\u2019t include *\u2019Round Midnight*\u2014and found nothing matching all your criteria. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Warp_%28album%29?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udd14 Possible Explanations / Next Steps\n\nGiven this, here are some possibilities:\n\n- You might be remembering a **live concert** from 1995 that wasn\u2019t officially released as a solo piano album.\n- It could have been a **bootleg** or **radio broadcast** recording that circulated informally and isn\u2019t documented in major discographies.\n- The date might be slightly off\u2014maybe it was late \u201990s rather than 1995, or the performance was solo but *not* live in the sense of a concert (e.g. studio solo).\n- It\u2019s possible *\u2019Round Midnight* was performed during a solo encore or set but not included on the official album release.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can dig into:\n\n- Bootleg/live concert archives (especially 1995 tours)\n- Radio broadcast records\n- Archives in non-English speaking countries (sometimes releases differ regionally)\n\nWould you prefer I try those routes?"

I found a few tantalizing leads, but nothing that clearly matches all your criteria. Here\u2019s a summary of what I found and what remains unresolved.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f Possible Matches & Related Findings\n\n1. **Chick Corea + Gayle Moran \u2014 Jazz in Marciac 1995**  \n   This is a **two-CD** bootleg set from a live performance at the Jazz in Marciac Festival, France, on **August 12, 1995**. Tracklist on Disc 1 includes solo piano pieces by Chick Corea, and *\u2019Round Midnight* appears. ([beatnikgroove.com](https://www.beatnikgroove.com/?pid=185859268&utm_source=openai))  \n   However:\n   - It\u2019s *not* purely a solo piano album: Gayle Moran (his wife) joins on vocals/piano for part of it. ([beatnikgroove.com](https://www.beatnikgroove.com/?pid=185859268&utm_source=openai))  \n   - So it doesn\u2019t satisfy the condition of being an *exclusive* solo album.\n\n2. **John McLaughlin & Chick Corea \u2014 Duo Live at Campo Santo 1995**  \n   Another 1995 live recording, at Campus Santo, Orleans, France (June 30, 1995). Includes a \u201cPiano Solo / Improvisation\u201d track and *\u2019Round Midnight* appears as part of the duo set. ([beatnikgroove.com](https://www.beatnikgroove.com/?pid=179121035&utm_source=openai))  \n   However:\n   - Again, it is *not* a solo album; it's a duo performance.  \n   - The *\u2019Round Midnight* section is likely part of a broader set of duo playing (guitar + piano) rather than isolated solo piano.\n\n3. **\u201cPortraits\u201d Solo Piano**  \n   Chick Corea\u2019s *Portraits* is an official solo piano release that *does* include *\u2019Round Midnight*. ([chickcorea.com](https://chickcorea.com/discography/portraits/?utm_source=openai))  \n   However:\n   - Release date is far later than 1995.  \n   - It doesn\u2019t meet your year or \u201clive in 1995 solo\u201d criteria.\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Why There\u2019s No Match So Far\n\n- None of the 1995 recordings found are purely solo piano; most are duo or include other artists.  \n- The album *Solo Piano: Standards (Live)* (2000) and *Solo Piano: Standards, Part Two* (also around 2000) both include *\u2019Round Midnight* but are clearly from later dates. ([qobuz.com](https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/solo-piano-standards-chick-corea/0001343190282?utm_source=openai))  \n- I found **no bootleg or collector-documented solo piano Chick Corea album** from 1995 that is reliably verified and includes *\u2019Round Midnight*.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd2d What to Try Next / What You Could Do\n\n- **Check collector forums or specialist sites** like Discogs, Jazzdisco.org, or collector mailing lists: sometimes rare CDRs or tapes are listed there with detailed track listings.  \n- **Search in non-English discographies** (especially French, Japanese, or European sources) since many bootlegs originate from festivals in Europe.  \n- **Contact radio station archives**: some solo piano sets were recorded by radio in 1995 and may have aired *\u2019Round Midnight* \u2014 these shows are sometimes released later or preserved in archives.  \n- **Check smaller indie labels or labels known for releasing live recordings**\u2014though many are unofficial.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to look through specialty bootleg archives (Discogs, jazz bootleg forums) and see if I can find something not widely catalogued yet\u2014and if you share any more details (venue, country, cover art, even bits of track order), that might narrow it further. Do you want me to go ahead with that?"
