But....there may be more to it than has been generally disseminated, at least as far as what brought it on...there are stories that Miles had run up some really bad coke debts and had incurred the wrath of one kingpin in particular, sending him into a seclusion which turned into a retirement which turned into...whatever it turned into... The key word there being "whatever", because that's really my ultimate reaction to it all.

And Billy Higgins.

Did somebody want a SONG? Well. ok. here's a song, and a mighty nifty one at that!

Rudy had the skills to get good source sound & to also work with various producers to give them their sound (i.e. - Creed Taylor & CTI). So which is more important - vision or ability to execute? Although, execution springs from/executes vision, you really dop need both in order to successfulize the outcome.

Apparently so!

Yes, very much so. I bought it back in the day thinking tht it was going to be a straight-up "Latin-Jazz" album (I was just beginning to discover the idiom for real) & was very disappointed that it wasn't. Traded it away within a month a forgot about it until the recent reissue. Revisited it and realized what a fool I had been to not pay better attention back then. Long story short, the music is a very organic (as I hear it) "fusion" of Latin rhytmic elements, post-modal jazz harmonic elements, soling that is totally at home with the concepts of each, and an overall group dynamic that feels like everybody is on the same page. None of that mattered to me then because none of it was what I was looking for. But better late than never, right? Also remember, if for no reasons other than trivia, that both Mantilla & Chambers were involed in M'Boom at the time. So who knows how much/what other stuff like this was coming out of that orb that wasn't documented? Maybe none, but it was a fertile time in a then-fertile place, and there was a fair amount of "cross-pollination" going on in general. Along those same lines, there are two albums by some guy named Bobby Vince Panutto (sp?) from about the same time, maybe a tad earlier, that I didn't know about until a few months ago that have a lot of the same ideas tastefully brewing, as well as another one by Jorge Lopez Ruiz that's got both Steig & Gomez that's even more in the vein of the Matilla album, only moreso. So yeah, check it out.

Who's done some pretty interesting work on his own!

It's not a very great sessions, but it is a very real one. I treasure it, and highly, for that.

Ornette's on about 3/4 of it.

Read the porton of Ira Gitler's "Swing To Bop" that deals with the subject and see what you think.
