Chick Corea y Steve Gadd Band Chinese Butterfly (2018) [descarga Oficial Digital 24 96]

'The Montreux Years' showcases some of the legendary pianist's remarkable Montreux Jazz Festival live performances. The set includes brand new liner notes, as well as rare photos from his Montreux shows. Combos featured include Chick Corea Quartet, Chick Corea New Trio, Chick Corea Freedom Band, Chick Corea Akoustic Band, and Chick Corea Elektric Band, plus an appearance by The Bavarian Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra.

After recording a string of fusion records in the late '80s with his Elektric Band, Chick Corea returned to acoustic jazz with this trio date. Enlisting Elektric Band sidemen John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, Corea swings through ten tracks with noticeably mixed results. The leader is as romantic as ever, playing with bravado even on ballads, flawlessly executing complicated ideas, reveling in drama and melodrama. Patitucci's upright playing clearly betrays his electric pedigree; listen quickly to his solo on "So in Love" and you might mistake it for a Jaco Pastorius spot. Weckl has been accused of being a soulless technician serving questionable music in the past, and those who are predisposed against him will find nothing here to change their minds.

Change was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "Wigwam" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo. "Little Flamenco" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. At the outset of CHANGE, Chick Corea's first studio album with his group Origin, it is clear that he has made a transition from his electric fusion style to straight-ahead acoustic jazz. On the opening track "Wigwam," Corea's signature percussive piano style has been replaced by a marimba's wooden tones. Most Corea fans should know that the piano master began his career on the drums, and his natural love of the mallet instruments makes logical sense. Corea's piano is ever present, however, as Origin proves to be the pianist's most traditional ensemble to date.

To the Stars is an album by American jazz fusion group the Chick Corea Elektric Band, released on August 24, 2004 by Stretch Records. Jazz musician Chick Corea, a longtime member of the Church of Scientology, was inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's science fiction 1954 novel To the Stars. Hubbard's book tells the story of an interstellar crew which experiences the effects of time dilation due to traveling at near light speed. A few days experienced by the ship's crew could amount to hundreds of years for their friends and family back on Earth.
