”I found Scientology very interesting, especially some of the techniques they developed for having people brainwash themselves. But this was not what I wanted to be part of. Chick [Corea] was becoming interested in what he called music that communicated. The Scientology people told us that if we [
Creative Construction Company] stayed together and altered our music a bit--you know, played something a little more commercial--they could make us millionaires. They did it, too, for Chick: After we split, he formed
Return to Forever and made a ton of money.”--
Anthony Braxton
