Just bought ACs new live album. No new material, apart from a cover of Caravan where he has changed the time signature which makes it a bit different but does not really add that much more interest to what is already a really good and versatile tune. How many people have covered Caravan and developed interesting arrangements? I love Chucho Valdes version of it on his brilliant New Conceptions album. Anyway, back to AC's new album. The real treat is it comes with a DVD of the gig which is in a New York jazz club. Unfortunately there is an interview with the musician which is pretty embarrassing. A mixture of inflated ego and implications that some supernatural force is working through him. Lets keep superstition out of music. Good music does lift the mood and takes you to another place but please, lets not get superstitious about it.
