@@Claytone-Records it's been a few decades since I read Miles' autobiography but my recollection about both Bitches Brew and Kinda Blue was that Miles came along with scraps of manuscript with thematic ideas, handed them out and let the greatest improvisers he had carefully curated go for it! Did he write the songs? I don't know, but he certainly produced them, in the true sense of that word.

John McLaughlin was a shredding guitar monster before shredders were invented. He was shredding way back in the early 70s along with Allan Holdsworth during his Soft Machine day's and Jan Akkerman during his Focus days. These were the real guitar giants of their day.

I was ring-side at the Blue Note, NYC for this show w. dear friends Joe & Anne in 2016. Blue-Note had booked Chick for a month for his 75th b-day. He got to play with different combinations of musicians he had worked with over his long, amazing career. To see Chick & John McLaughlin together, supported by the great Victor Wooten on bass and bad-ass Lenny White on drums was a spectacular treat I'll always remember. Chick had been there at the beginning of Miles Davis' new electric sound, beginning in Feb. 1969 with "In a Silent Way" and later that year, Aug. 1969 with the ground-breaking, "Bitches Brew." So many great young musicians played on those dates. By 1972, when Chick contributed to the hyper-kinetic jazz-funk classic, "On the Corner", he was already off on his own as a leader in "Return to Forever". Along w. other Miles alumni, Joe Zawinul & Wayne Shorter in "Weather Report", John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra; Herbie Hancock's "Mwandishi", a new form of high-propellent fusion jazz was explored that lit up the firmament. In 2008, Chick & John joined forces again in the "5 Peace Band". Playing each other's compositions they were supported by the best of the next-gen players - Christian McBride on bass, Kenny Garrett on sax, and monster percussionist, Vinnie Coluiata. kzitem.info/news/bejne/pKuizWlmn318a3o. Great thanks and blessings to Chick Corea, whose innovative originality both in playing, composing, recording & band leading set the bar for all who aspire to greatness in music and in life.

A music producer can turn any schmuck on the street into a Drake or Lizzo or Billie Eilish and use their algorithmic music to sell iPhones and Visa cards. A Chick Corea or John McLaughlin or Victor Wooten is a precious gift from the universe that should be savored and studied and inspire young kids to achieve their own mastery, but only a dozen old grey-haired men seem to get it.
