Have loved this tune for decades, written by Chick Corea. Plenty of soul! And the musicians certainly do the composition a whole lot of justice! Thank you for posting my friend!
Thank you george! I aprised a friend several years ago of chick at this period sounding like mcoy,but HE COULDNT HEAR IT! HIS CD'S NO LESS,LOVES TO ARGUE ABOUT MUSIC! By the way george im the rasheed who sent you the lonnie l.smith cd's with you from 1973 at camden high school by farid. You took care of business!
Definitely the one of the finest of trumpeters and people. Back in the day with Harold Land at the Catalina in Mission Bay, San Diego... so many fine memories of Blue and Chick. May their music play on.... thanks to D Gallymon for sending reminder. ox AB Cohen
@@JungleYT Joan was Corea’s wife and the song is dedicated to her; Corea said he didn’t want it to have a “mushy” title. I think I read this in the liner notes of the original album.
@@yoga.ma.genova8591 Thanks... Was that his first wife? Rumor is that one of his wives was to NEVER be mentioned or something? Perhaps she was kind of crazy or they had a bitter breakup?
My Favorite rendition growing up, before realizing Chic Corea wrote it... Tried asking Mr. Corea what the title meant or the genesis for the name, but he never responded. Now that he passed, may never know?
Had an exchange about the very same thing with someone on another thread. He's definitely been elusive about the backstory on this. I once seen him w/ Jazz @ Lincoln Ctr. Orchestra. At the occasion he talked around it and gave up nothing.
Would be nice to hear Pepper on this. He plays a great solo on Straight Up and Down, from the same session, though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d2FVeAj4wns.html
