Anybody heard Children on the Corner, an kind-of On the Corner reunion band? They have a few lengthy samples on their site. http://www.sonancerecords.com/COTCHome.html "Well, five musicians who played with Miles Davis have reunited and, along with the sixth wheel, pianist Michael Wolff, bring us the first and only new recording rekindling the Miles Spirit. Michael Henderson on bass Michael Wolff on keys Sonny Fortune on sax and flute Barry Finnerty on guitar Ndugu Chancler on drums Badal Roy on tablas Appropriately titled Rebirth, this album was recorded live on July 12, 2003 at the famed Yoshis in Oakland, California, before an overflow crowd. It featured some of the great Miles standards from the Electric Years, as well as original compositions by Michael Wolff. As Michael Henderson says: 'This ain't no smooth jazz.' So, hang on to your seat and come along for the funk." Dan Haiku Maui http://www.frankdan.com PS - Just got the JJ Complete Box set. Too overwhelmed to put it on yet....

What about that Wadada Leo Smith and Henry Kaiser production Yo Miles, from a few years back? I was less than enthused about that project, so I sold it. Though I did have bad ex-girlfriend associations with it... I listened to the clips of this project and it is good, but give me the original electric Miles recordings any day. I guess that was my problem with Yo Miles. Smith is not Miles and Kaiser is definitely no John McLaughlin. What was Rova doing there any how? Zach
I saw them at that gig at Yoshi's, and loved them -- except for Michael Wolff's bland playing, inane tunes, and incessant, irrelevant solos. I don't quite get what he was doing in the band, but they would have much better without him. On Tue, 2003-10-14 at 17:16, Dan Frank Kuehn wrote:
