Another solid CTI for Farrell -- and keeping fast company with Corea and Elvin Jones. In fact, the polyrhythmic match up of Elvin and Corea is a case study in itself: On one hand you have Corea's jazz/rock developments and on the other hand you have Jones' post-bop explorations. As for the LP, there are many different and memorable "feels" (as Miles would say). Great job all around and highly recommended for those following that precarious early '70s balance of jazz and jazz/rock.
