27-time Grammy winner Chick Corea was the consummate artist, constantly searching for new ways to expand his vision—and our perception—of what jazz can be. Candid is proud to present three bold and brilliant examples of his boundless genius.

Chick Corea's Elektric Band stormed onto the jazz scene in the mid ’80s, exploding the boundaries of jazz and forging its path forward. The core lineup of virtuosos—Corea on keyboards, John Patitucci on bass, Dave Weckl on drums, Eric Marienthal on saxophone, and Frank Gambale on guitar—seamlessly blended complex compositions with captivating improvisations across five legendary studio albums and explosive live performances.

METICULOUSLY RESTORED. FULLY RECHARGED

The Complete Studio Albums 1986-1991 presents all 5 original Elektric Band albums unabridged and properly sequenced on vinyl for the first time ever. With audio supervised by original engineer Bernie Kirsh and cut by Bernie Grundman, each album is presented as a 2-LP set with expanded packaging and new liner notes by Bill Milkowski. This limited-edition box set also includes reproductions of rare memorabilia from Chick’s personal archive, including a souvenir tour book, concert poster, and more. Each album is also available individually on CD and streaming everywhere.

ALL NEW. ALL LIVE

The Future Is Now, recorded during the classic Elektric Band’s reunion shows from 2016-2018, displays their individual and collective powers jaw-droppingly intact. Thankfully, every set was recorded by original Elektric Band engineer Bernie Kirsh and co-produced by Dave Weckl, with the best performances curated and sequenced by Corea just before his passing in 2021. Available on 3 LPs, 2 CDs, and streaming everywhere, this is the Elektric Band’s legacy . . . amplified.

Sardinia, now a 2024 Grammy© nominee for Best Classical Compendium, is Corea’s joyous fusion of classical and jazz recorded with the Chamber Orchestra of Sardinia. Celebrating two of his favorite composers, Corea infuses classical tradition with the spirit and improvisational energy of jazz for an unforgettable evening that he considered among his proudest achievements.
