Chick Corea Akoustic Band in the Philharmonie im Gasteig (1991)

Chick Corea, John Patitucci and Dave Weckl were among the most celebrated jazz musicians of their generation, and the Akoustic Band became one of the defining groups of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Recorded at the Munich Klaviersommer in 1991, this performance draws on music by Monk, Coltrane, Gillespie, Bud Powell and Duke Ellington as well as Corea himself. Bringing together standards, modern jazz classics and original compositions, the concert offers a vivid snapshot of a trio whose combination of virtuosity, stylistic range and musical ambition helped define an era.
