Dmitry Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 December should be the Ray Charles' month. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 If that museum could get Herbie Hancock's Cobra, that would be a coup. Herbie's car is much rarer than Ella's Mercedes. Herbie's Cobra is a one of a kind worth an estimated $2 Million. Quote
Dmitry Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Someone should ask him if King Cobra was titled so because of his then brand new ride... Quote

According to the liner notes, it is partially about that: "Hancock wrote 'King Cobra' because he was tired of the same chord progressions. "The chord in most jazz tunes flow in a certain way," he explains. "I wanted to expand the flow so that it would go in directions beyond the usual." The harmony builds tension, representing the cobra with its latent striking power. (Cobra is also the type of sports car that Herbie owns). Quote
porcy62 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 I think Miles has had always the nicest cars. Quote
JSngry Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah, where are all the Milescars now? Quote
porcy62 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I think he destroyed his Lamborghini in an accident, don’t know about the others. Edited November 20, 2020 by porcy62 Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 So I guess the money that Herbie plunked down just to show the salesman he could buy such a car, it must have come from Mongo's cover of Watermelon Man? I see that recording was also in 1963. I can't imagine the money came from Alfred ... but maybe? Quote
JSngry Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Publishing, baby, publishing. Donald Byrd was schooling people to own their own publishing, not go for the old "label gets the publishing" model. Aries Music - that means that Herbie got all of his no matter who played it.Not just composer money, but publishing money right there with it. Hello ownership! Horace Silver was already doing this, and Lion would not do it for just everybody (in fact he dropped Horace Parlan over a dispute over Ronnie Boykins not giving up his publishing and Horace being n Boykins' side). But Herbie had leverage, Wayne had leverage, a few people had leverage. Quote

JSngry Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Check the records and see who had the publishing for the originals. Quote
Dmitry Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Miles is pissed Herbie didn’t let him drive his Cobra: Quote
