- I would be the first to agree that Chick has done a lot of great
- stuff - his work with Miles and his own "Now He Sings, Now He
- Sobs" are (rightly) classics of Jazz. He went steadily
- downhill after that; by the time he started with GRP, he'd gotten
- pretty boring. Still, you're right; with respect to Chick, I retract
- my original description. Chick Corea's recordings on GRP have
- been just unfortunate jazz, not unfortunate jazz-influenced
- elevator music.
-
- I do have to thank GRP for rereleasing much of the Impulse! catalog
- on CD. This is a genuine Good Thing.

-
- I've heard PLENTY of GRP stuff. I have no desire to hear more.
