The Chick Corea Elektric Band in the Philharmonie im Gasteig

When the Chick Corea Elektric Band hit the stage at the Munich Klaviersommer in 1987, they were operating at full voltage. With Frank Gambale, Eric Marienthal, John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, Corea leads a set that moves effortlessly between tight, propulsive grooves and open-ended interplay. The programme draws on Elektric Band staples such as 'Rumble', 'Light Years' and 'The Dragon', alongside Patitucci's 'Starlight', giving each player space to stretch while keeping the collective drive front and centre. A snapshot of a band that redefined jazz fusion on its own terms.
