This is a record that's on my play list right today. I bought it new and never got the CD, don't even know if it's on CD. I never got enough of this record. It came out in 77.

the Chick Corea music most of the music is "through-composed" (Wiki, look it up). That is what I meant when I said that the music should be approached like a symphony. Much of what you hear in that music is not improvised; it is part of the composition and within the framework of that composition there is room for improvised solos. In that way, it is like Duke’s jazz suites with "movements" within which and between which the soloists improvise. The soloists don’t follow each other in the more typical and simpler way, so there would be no opportunity for the soloists to even do what you point to. Apparently you thought that what was part of the composition was soloing. Now, the REALLY important stuff:***** Explaining something does not make it more palatable. Music is about hearing and personal taste. Emotional reactions. Any music sounds good to at least some people. If only the people that play it. Ellington's name in a paragraph on Fusion??? How dare you. Cheers |

Sadly, not much new. Wholesale panning of an entire genre that, obviously, many on his thread find value in; and, instead of simply expressing dislike it is put down in insulting ways. Nice.***** Well the sign over the door does say 'Jazz for Aficionados'. If Jazz can be panned, surely non-Jazz stands a good chance of being Panned. AND, unlike some people, my opinion is just that, MY opinion. No more or less valid than any other. But differences in opinion does make for good conversation. And btw, I have insulted no one. But maybe some folks consider differences as insulting. Cheers |
