Chick Corea Elektric Band - Chick Corea Elektric Band

 

Double LP

Reissue of the 1986 eponymous debut album by the Chick Corea Elektric Band

Chick has a long history of reinvention — not least of which was the stunning high-velocity jazz-rock of Return to Forever. In 1986, after a long period of high-profile, mostly acoustic collaborations, Chick assembled the Elektric Band, a plugged-in unit so tight and flawless that it reinvigorated jazz for a new generation.

Their first album, The Chick Corea Elektric Band, is a stunner: from the opening flourish of "City Gate," Chick was clearly announcing a new direction. The lineup of young masters — Scott Henderson and Carlos Rios on guitar, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Dave Weckl — simply inhabit Chick's new compositions, creating instant classics out of tunes like "Got A Match?" and "Elektric City."
