I've read the liner notes and still don't get the cover... did they miss the train and have to walk? Why does the bassist have to carry his bass but the drummer only carries his snare?

Outstanding.

 

 

Do you think McCann intended the album title & photo to be ironic?  All of the women are TALLER than he is!  

Looks like he's happy to be there, regardless.  

 

Yeah, it's a classic self-deprecatory sleeve. Sure it's intended to be funny. Here's another. The bandleader is the one in red, getting toughed up by a rozzer.

[Rabshakeh]

Chick Corea Akoustic Band – Alive (GRP, 1991)

Not a group that I ever really "got", but they have a huge following in some circles. Giving it a listen after a conversation with a friend's brother, a fusion head, who considers this record up there with the very greatest.

I am fairly certain this image was taken just outside Rudy's studio, between the studio/home and the garage.
