[Chick writes from Nice, where John McLaughlin sat in with the Freedom Band.]
It was a blast playing with John again – - it was like the Four Peace Freedom Band with Roy Haynes on drums!
We jammed on “Someday My Price Will Come” and “Matrix” – - and then did some Rap Jamming for an encore – - that was wild!
Chick's acclaim as one of the most revelatory composers and pianists of the last 50 years rests on the awesome diversity of his work. There's hardly a branch of modern music that Chick hasn't shaped in some way, from acoustic and electric jazz to avant-garde and full-orchestra classical. His musical voice is completely distinct, and yet always purely adventurous.
