The Chick Corea Elektric Band – The Future Is Now (3-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded just months before Corea's passing in February 2021, "Future Is Now" captures the Elektric Band in a reunion that felt both celebratory and poignant. The group had largely been dormant for decades, making this late-career document something the jazz world didn't know it needed until it arrived.
Led by the legendary pianist and composer Chick Corea - the venerated 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.
