It took me a minute, but I finally placed this tune from my disco memory banks from 40 years ago. Not sure it needed to be covered, but Bela and Chick made a decent go of it.

Jazz noodling, no question, but definitely expert jazz noodling. Annoyed me at first, but it definitely grew on me.

Don't need to hear it very often, though...

Bella Fleck. Now THERE'S an original! Although he has many better tracks than this. Jes sayin'.

I accept your chastisement, and have deleted the original post.

But, man do I detest jazz banjo.

I guarantee you that LOTS of people here have "downloaded some Chick" and probably multiple chicks... probably doing things inappropriate for RP discussion. {#Twisted}

However, it does seem that noone has successfully uploaded any Chick to RP. Shame.

This duo hasn't quite won me over... yet.

Actually, Scientology is not theistic, they don't believe in a god. They believe a person can become enlightened by becoming 'clear' of their neuroses caused by bad experiences in this and past lives, so they have a process called 'auditing' in which their members pay a lot of money to get 'clear'. That in itself isn't too weird and might be beneficial (except for the money part), but what does get weird are the cultish aspects— that over time, the more one gets involved, the more personal life, money and decisions are often controlled by more senior members over the individuals, and also the beliefs that are peddled once one is in deep are very odd, such as demons and spirits fighting, aliens from other planets involved in our world etc., not to mention some of the criminal misdoings of the church in real estate and other matters busted by the U.S. and German governments.

As to your post, I don't know if you were being straight up or sarcastic, so I'll leave that one alone.

The banjo is a bit overbearing at times, but all in all this is a pretty awesome cover.

I rate this 8+ - inspired. Knowing nothing of Corea, I went Wiki-hunting to find out more. I quote the following from his entry: Under the "special thanks" notes, found in all of his later albums, Corea mentions that the author L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology movement, has been a continual source of inspiration. In 1968 Corea discovered Dianetics, Hubbard's principal work, and in the early 1970s developed an interest in Hubbard's science fiction novels. The two exchanged letters until Hubbard's death in 1986, and Corea even did some work on music Hubbard had written, noting, " was a great composer and keyboard player as well." Is this true? I have none of Corea's work to refer to. Great musical talent and a "different" view of life are nothing new of course.
Dianetics was L. Ron Hubbard's best selling science fiction novel.

Corea is one of the great jazz musicians of the 1970's. Then he had a famous rock-jazz fusion band called Return To Forever, which featured many famous great jazz musicians, bassist Stanley Clarke (another Scientologist) was in it most of the time, and Al DiMeola (great jazz electric guitarist & flamenco acoustic guitarist) was in it for a while. Those Return To Forever records are worth listening to. Return To Forever had some similar sounding elements to their contemporary jazz rock fusion bands Mahavishnu Orchestra (with John McLaughlin) and Weather Report. Corea also did a number of solo acoustic and other acoustic piano oriented jazz records as well as some with full symphony orchestras and other jazz group configurations-- kind of explored various kinds of bands and sounds. He mostly does his own compositions but sometimes covers classic jazz pieces. He's had a huge influence in the jazz world. Definitely check him out, especially if you like jazz.

It just blows me away that Bela Fleck can play complex real jazz (not just his own excellent sometimes jazz derived compositions) on the banjo, and play it technically well and with beautiful results. Truly amazing.

Yes, it's true that both Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, and also Al Dimeola are Scientologists. Even though I don't trust the Scientology movement leadership, I can put that aside and appreciate these terrific musicians' work. As to Hubbard's music, I've never heard it, but I'd be as skeptical of it as I am of his other creations.

This is going to sound so random, but I've been playing Super Mario Kart Wii a lot lately and in the shopping mall level, that's awesome, there's a Brazil-like song playing that keeps reminding me of Brazil so when this first came on I got that same feeling like "oh, another song that reminds me of Brazil," Good stuff though
