Ghosthouse - Yeah Three Quartets just worked for me. I read Corea had set out to use (17/18th century?) string quartets as the model/template/pattern...what's the right word?? for the music he would compose. I think there's a certain discipline or order to the proceedings that does remind me of classical music. I'm not necessarily properly stating what I think is there...curious if you have a clue what I mean. I do appreciate Eddie Gomez's contribution to the quartets. I had noted and enjoyed it.
As a humorous aside, my bro-in-law is not a fan of bass solos. He likes Keith Jarrett a lot and has seen him perform with his trio numerous times. I believe that means KJ with Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock. He does not look forward to the obligatory bass solo, however. He commented about (upright) bass solos: "They're like listening to a fly trapped behind a window shade." Don't necessarily agree but thought that was pretty funny.
Gosh - if Quartets was Brecker's last recording, I'd say he went out in fine style. Hard to imagine him in better form.
Thank you for the Pilgrimage suggestion. It's playing now. I will listen to it on the main system later today.
