Hey boys, sat five feet away from Chick Corea Thursday night as he played a 90-minute set dedicated to Miles Davis at the Blue Note. An all-pantheon group of musicians made this one very memorable: Gary Bartz was a revelation on sax, Eddie Gomez on bass (first time I'd seen Bill Evan's long-standing partner), Jack DeJohnette on drums, and Wallace Roneya relative lightweight (well, contemporary player anyway, at 51) on trumpet. Yowza.
