That´s one side about Miles I don´t like.
When I first saw him more than 50 years ago, I had thought and read, that this is a more angry, but very silent guy who just doesn´t like to talk, and it is expressed thru the sound of loneliness in his trumpet, which was very evident not only in the old days but also when I heard it, with all them electric echipments....,
So later when I heard some things he said I was quite shocked, and since I know that he loved Dizzy all his live, he just should have SHUT UP instead of tellin stupid lies and untrue things. I mean it is a no go to talk bad things about fellow musicians.
Oh this is a nice cover foto of those little animals we called „ștrumfii” in our childhood. From the instruments I guess it is trumpet, piano, fender-bass and drums, is it ?
As little as I understood Mr. Corea´s affinity to that kind of sectă where they take your money and so, as much I dug his music.
During the first half of the 70´s of course there was RTF, but as early then I must admit that from the two Ex-Miles-Keaboardists electric groups I preferred the Herbie Hancock "Headhunters" which I found more "black" and more "funky" . But Chick Corea was a helluva musician, as much electric as acoustic.....
Of course I have this one. It was a must for me, I mean from the legendary collaboration between Monk and Trane there is not much recorded, I think I heard a tape once of Monk Quartet feat. Trane, but very very bad sound quality, but great music.
So I was glad I found this record some years ago, actually during a time where I did not buy any more stuff from the past
