Previously Unreleased Album of Live Recordings on 3LP!
Compiled by Corea Before His Passing!
Mastered by Bernie Grundman!
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.
After releasing five legendary albums in the span of six years, Corea, always interested in expanding the scope of his work, devoted himself to a myriad of other musical projects.
Compiled by Corea before his passing in February of 2021, this incredible and previously unreleased album of live recordings with the reunited original Elektric Band, was captured during tour stops in 2016 and 2017.
Produced by Corea with original Elektric Band recording engineer Bernie Kirsh, and mastered by Bernie Grundman, this 3 vinyl LP album features in-depth liner notes from Corea, and all of the Elektric Band members. It is a fitting closing chapter, a must-have for any fan of this dynamic and game-changing group.
