About this image

When I played in duo with Jack DeJohnette, Jack would stop and turn on a dime and say "Mark, let's play some funky stuff!" The "funky stuff" were grooves that emanated straight out of On the Corner, Jack DeJohnette was in Miles band for On the Corner. During the shows I played with Tomasz Stanko and Billy Hart, and I had already played with Tomasz and knew him, the music would open up. Billy Hart was laying down these grooves and myself and Tomasz Stanko would look at each other and were in congruence, this is On the Corner man and this is the closest we're going to get to Miles. Billy Hart was also the drummer in Miles Davis band for On the Corner.
