And for my second non-sequitur of the morning, also related to a much earlier blog of Mr. W's, Allmusic reminded me of a great electro-fusion jazz record today, Donald Byrd's "Electric Byrd" - deeply influenced by same-period Miles, but really good nevertheless. I know you were looking for some a couple of months ago.

Also, if you want to see how jazz got off the rails in the seventies, you should check out his record from a few years later - Black Byrd - which is soul/R&B jazz with black guys and girls chanting along....real Isaac Hayes meets jazz stuff. Sounds pretty cool in a purely retro way actually, but considering it came from a pure jazz trumpeter, and was a huge seller, well, it was the beginning of the end of the line for jazz for about ten years.
