Chick Corea "Return to Forever" ECM LP

Listened to my OG LP and man what a wonderful experience. This is a masterpiece. What Joe, Flora and Airto contribute has always intrigued me. And Chick's Fender Rhodes playing is among the best ever. 

👍 - bought this issue when it came out in 1972!

I just finished making a permanent resting place for my dear Fiona the miniature dachshund near one of her favorite spots in the back yard. She stopped eating and drinking two days ago, and we made an appointment with the vet’s for a probable termination for 11:00 a.m. and true to her self-determined nature she decided to pass away peacefully in her dog bed at 9:30 a.m. She was a BIG part of my life, I’m really going to miss her, but we gave her a full life and she did not seem in pain, just drifted away. She was such a character! I miss her already.

I’m playing this disc. . . she always settled down and took a nice snooze whenever I would. And it’s comfort music for me.

After all the talk about "Return To Forever", a record that I don't really care for, I wanted to play something  very different.

Right? What he was doing in that half decade was Don Cherry, no longer just known as an Ornette sideman. The BN's and ESP's keep me on edge. No slouching, no downtime-relentless!! Just the way I like it. Gotta revisit the "mu" stuff right now. Mu is Japanese for "nothingness" right? Existential in European talk. Don Cherry was a deep dude, Have both parts, playing it now. 

 

Thank you for hipping me back to this sweet record Pim!

Yeah the MU records are great. Essential Don (and Blackwell of course  ) enjoy!

So sorry to hear of Fiona's passing, jazzbo.  Losing dear pets is hard.

Thanks we had time to acclimate to her leaving us soon. We're going to be alright. She was MY dog, treated my wife as a second class citizen. It will be nice to be able to snuggle with my wife again.

Sorry to hear about Fiona. She sounds like a great dog.

Incredible. Cherry and Blackwell are monster trucks!

Dogs, like horses are amazing companions to us, I am so sorry to hear this. My brother in law's cat just past away in his daughter's arms. Rest in peace wonderful companions.

Thanks. She was a rascal Kevin; we "rescued" her about nine years ago of an unknown age, probably five or six, and at first would do things like steal a steak off Lucinda's plate, disappear under the house and refuse to come out until she felt like it, crawl into pipes and hollow trees --got stuck in one of those-- after moles or mice.  .  . she finally mellowed with age and became a couch potato welded to my hip or in my arms. It will be a big adjustment but we were prepared for this. Six months or more of blindness and deafness is a big cross for her to bear and adjust to, and a big effort for us (mostly me) to manage. I'm glad she's resting in peace. . . and as a benefit I will be sleeping better as well.

Me too.

Just catching up with this really sad news, I'm sorry to hear that Fiona will no longer be there to enjoy her listening sessions with you. For some reason the mentions of her in your posts always brought a smile to my face.

A great companion departed, but on her own terms, and I hope your memories of all those hours together bring some solace.

And what a great musical tribute to her too. An album I only recently discovered (I know) due to your enthusiasm for it here.

Thank you. It was odd this morning to wake up and not be woken up. It will take some adjusting for a while.
