Chick Corea – The Chick Corea Elektric Band (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Corea launched the Elektric Band in 1986 as a deliberate counterpoint to his acoustic work, channeling the electric Miles Davis vocabulary he'd absorbed firsthand as a sideman on Bitches Brew into something entirely his own. This self-titled debut captured the group at their most kinetic, before the world knew what to make of them, with Patitucci, Weckl, Marienthal, and Gambale locking into a collective chemistry that would define fusion for a generation of players who followed.
Led by the legendary pianist and composer Chick Corea - 27-time Grammy winner and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master - The Elektric Band stormed onto the jazz scene in the mid-1980s, making an immediate and lasting impact on the genre. With their electrifying performances and innovative blend of jazz fusion, the group produced a series of albums that set the bar for excellence in contemporary jazz.Featuring a core lineup of virtuosic musicians - John Patitucci on bass, Dave Weckl on drums, Eric Marienthal on saxophone and Frank Gambale on guitar - the group created a dynamic and electrifying sound that came to define the jazz fusion style. Their collective musicianship was on full display on each album, as they seamlessly blended complex compositions with captivating improvisations.With each outing, the band explored new sonic territories, incorporating elements of funk, Latin and Afro music, and pop sensibilities. Their 5-album studio discography is a masterful tapestry of multi-layered music, showcasing their creativity, innovation, and musicianship.
