I agree with Chris about FILLES and IN A SILENT WAY.  Beautiful.

For the record, Chick Corea is not on THE CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS  
(that's Keith Jarrett) or LOVED HIM MADLY.

For me, the best Miles with Chick recordings are the bootlegs (widely  
available) of the quintet (Miles, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, Jack  
DeJohnette) from 1970 of live dates.  Chick is on electric piano,  
processed, and he is featured generously.  There is also a live date  
(forget which one) that was originally released on Columbia of the  
band with Keith Jarrett AND Chick Corea together -- LIVE AT THE  
FILLMORE, I believe.
