Eeh, I remember Pablo from PA refusing to listen to Corea altogether because of his [Corea's] beliefs (it's Scientology, not Mormon). Otherwise, I sense no conflict in music, and that's enough for me. I didn't read about tensions with fellow musicians.

And I like it much more. In fact, it's my favourite RTF and one of my favourite albums. It's like Mad Hatter. Not a lot of praise, but for me it's totally special.

That's a dumb attitude, if you ask me....and I'm an atheist, so god-crazy people are not my thing... But to refuse listening to a man's oeuvre is drastic....It's not like Corea's music ever converted anyone top scientology
 
 
However, I'm pretty sure Chick fired Al DiMeaola, because Al wouldn't join up scxientology and he also made pressure on the others as well. Connors (in Hymn always avoided answering why he left so quick RTF, and maybe it was for similar reasons.... Bill connors said that he wanted to concentrate on acoustic guitar, yet his first two albums solo post-RTF are electric guitar..... Sooooooo much for that explanation, uh???LOL

I agree, that's why I prefer Light as a Feather. Wink

However, the s/t is definitely the better album for me, greater compositions and more impressive playing. Light as a Feather tends to repeat itself a bit, but I do prefer its chillness.

Ermm, yes. LOL

I really don't remember ever having said that, if I actually did I was lying because since I entered PA I always liked Corea.  
Not saying you're lying, but I seriously don't remember having said that, since I'm actually not an "active" Catholic anymore and would careless what a guy believed. Maybe I said it as something as out of pure curiosity, or as a joke since I often do that hehe, but still I don't remember.

O hai Pablo. Tongue

No idea why I remembered you being the one who said it.

But someone did, in those words, and sounded pretty serious.

Speaking of his music... You prefer more Chick Corea Acoustic or electric?
For you see, I would say that acoustic or electric... I like Korea at the same level!

Speaking about duo's fresh album, I enjoy their Latin jazz flavor. Bela Fleck added more life to too chamber current Corea's music. Comparing with last years Corea's releases this album is really strong enough, but not of the same level with his best solo works from 70s

Only half a point my friendTongueWink
 
Actually it's a full point, but diminished by the huge derivative ADM playing characteristics on those early solo album
 
 
When he was with RTF, ADM sounded like.... ADM
 
when he went solo, he sounded like Paco, McL and Carlos, but not like ADM

Any opinions on 'Orvieto', his latest release?
I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

I am really disappointed with this release - not on the Corea's level in all senses.

I read some good reviews that made me curious (I'm not a big Corea fan, but I like some of his stuff) but I wasn't impressed at all by this album.

This album reminds me (not stylistically) one of these Billy Cobham releases he recorded a lot with less known or unknown musicians after he moved to live in Switzerland. There were two series - Nordic (with young then but will be known later Nordic musicians) and other - with local Italian artists, both obviously sounded as possibility for Cobham to make some cash selling his name to unknown band with some ambitions to become popular "playing with Cobham". Almost all recordings sound raw and out of class

I haven't heard any of their collaboration yet, but my dad is a big fan of both artists (I like them both to, but Chick moreso).  I thought about picking up the album "The Enchantment" at the store for a Christmas gift, but I couldn't remember if he had it or not.  Regardless, I got him a gift card at the store, and they agreed to put the album aside for him in the event he wants it. Smile
