If I was a collector or was interested in records signed by the artist or I would be on a trip of gathering anything Chick had hold in his hands, I´d buy it. I am aware of the doubts of many of you where the money goes to, but let´s say, I buy some of Chick Coreas records, or Serena bought me some great live stuff with Jean Luc Ponty featured and if the money goes to that religion, let it go there.  Maybe such statements are easier for me to say than for others, since I don´t have no religion at all, I mean I would not say this religion is cool and that religion is uncool. Let ´em believe what they believe in and let them call them their Godnesses how they call ´em.  Maybe it´s easier for me because not being part of groups of that kind I dig them all, they sure have somethin´ to say to them their folks. My background, I mean before my grandparents they had a religion just because they were christened in it, and when it turned out that because of that certain religion they are cut out of certain professions or society event´s they changed their religions into those who the king or emperor of "their" country was into. Roman Catolic, Reformat, ortodox, any of that, and when they started to dig a certain political direction that would not embrace religions they left it and remained without religion. Sure they didn´t have aversiuni contra religions, since pur and simplu they did not no nothing about it...... So in that order of thoughts anything that Chick Corea believed in is cool for me.  About the Prestige Album: I remember the liner notes, how they began: About some fiction that Miles in the mid seventies does a concert with his electric group and after the last note and all the standing ovations he comes back on stage, followed by some old guys like Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Percy Heath, John Lewis and Kenny Clark and they start playing "Tasty Pudding" and so on.  When Miles really did a very similar thing in Paris 1991, first with his group and than with old guys like Jackie McLean and so on playing bop tunes like "Dig" and "Out of the Blue"....this event really happened and imediatly I thought about those liner notes from that old Prestige record. 

Sounds great !!!!! Love them all. Sounds like something I might like.

A Second Life for The Avant-Jazz of Leo Records

You'd think Miles would've scribed this on "Tones for Joan's Bones" or something, instead of his own reissue with no Chick on it. Give the kid some credit, for fuck's sake.
