All Jazzbo Notes members are invited to enter the “Miles Davis - On The Corner” Giveaway Contest.
Critically trashed on it’s release, On The Corner is considered a masterpiece these days. Goodness knows it’s got enough great musicians playing on it, people like Dave Liebman, Badal Roy, Herbie Hancock, Don Alias, and Jack Dejohnette. According to Thom Jurek on Allmusic.com…
…On the Corner is the most street record ever recorded by a jazz musician. And it still kicks.
Rules:

2. Participate in the forum, either by answering a question or by asking one. Nonsense entries like “This is an entry” will be disqualified. JazzboNotes.com will be the final judge of what qualifies as a valid forum entry.
3. What two musicians who appeared on On The Corner are currently touring together? Hint: you can find the answer in the posts on this site. Use the search button.

5. At least 100 people must enter the contest or no one will be awarded the prize. If you’ve entered the contest, take a look at the forum page. If there aren’t at least 100 posts after the date the contest is announced, that means that not enough people have yet entered the contest for the prize to be awarded. Feel free to tell other people who might be interested about the contest.
Good Luck!

I’ve had a lousy vinyl pressing of this for years. Looking forward to hearing the re-master.
