Great choice to write about, excellent analysis, Marshall. And it’s my go-to answer when someone on social media asks: “What album sounds exactly like its cover?”
Thanks, Wayne. It does sound just like the album art. This is from a book draft, and the next topic that comes up is the cover art! Hard to find info on Corky McCoy.
Miles does not play organ on On The Corner. Hey began doing so on studio sessions and live shows shortly afterwards but none of the tracks from the actual album has Miles on organ.
Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Harold Ivory Williams, and Cedric Lawson are the keys players here.

Other than that, great write up!
Great piece on Miles Davies. One can really get lost in it.
