Straight Up and Down


I enjoy Chick Corea's earlier work quite a bit, although I am not a big fan of his style. I think Corea always knew how to surround himself with excellent sidemen, and he also understood composition and form even if at times his soloing leaves me wanting more. Anyway, this song, which is nothing like Eric Dolphy's masterpiece of the same name, features some noteworthy blowing from Joe Farrell, who almost sounds like Joe Henderson. "Litha" is also recommended.
