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.
