Just saw him live with the Chick Corea Electric Band at Yoshi's tonight, and well, just wow. I had seen him on tv and you tube doing cool stuff with Bela Fleck,but this was on a higher plane, both inspiring and wickedly intimidating at the same time! I don't think I have ever seen more talented musicians all in the same place before, and obviously having fun.
I am going to bed now.  |

The only downside to Chick Corea is his whole Scientology thing.... I guess it is a religion of sorts so I shouldn't attack it... but man.... |

His talent and musicianship is much broader than that.

Funk might be his first love but even a cursory listen to his solo albums indicates his love of jazz. |

Honestly, I could go way deeper and describe why I am so opposed to Scientology, but this really isn't the place. I have been a member here (different name) for over 5 years, so I know how mods like to keep things toned down  |

I also look at Vic as more of a funk player, but he can definitely play his ii V I's, and then some! |

Please, please, PLEASE don't tell me you are of any religious persuasion yourself!
Oh, and yeah, Vic's great. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
