Nice clip. Stanley is certainly correct about stating that RTF's music had a feel that sounded written out --that it was based more on this aspect of musicianship. This is why I have always preferred MO --their music, while written, was much more wild and intense. Had a much greater improvisational feel to it.
Thank you Stanley for being able to even listen,let alone reply after quite a long flight-and now people know

cocaine was the downfall of all these guys. maybe jazz and rock will have another successful hybrid like mid-70's weather report and herbie

I think he was just speaking hypothetically. You probably figured that out in 9 months though.

He might also have mentioned Jean Luc Ponty, with whom he played. Another "fusion" genius.
