Chick Corea was an American jazz composer, arranger, keyboardist, percussionist, bandleader and recording artist of southern Italian descent. Born on June 12, 1941 in Chelsea, Boston, Massachusetts, he was a prolific musician who played various genres including Bebop, Post Bop, Free Jazz, Latin Jazz and Crossover. He became known for his contributions to Jazz Rock and Fusion in the 1970s as both a solo artist and member of bands such as Return to Forever and Circle.

In his youth, Chick Corea marched as a lead soprano bugle soloist in a drum and bugle corps called St. Rose Scarlet Lancers of Chelsea. Influenced by bebop music, he started his professional career in the early 60s and recorded his first album in 1966 (not released until 1968). His well-received trio Post Bop album "Now He Sings Now He Sobs" with drummer Roy Haynes and bass player Miroslav Vitous marked the beginning of his groundbreaking musical journey.

Throughout his career, Chick Corea explored various styles of music including Latin American acoustic and electronic music as well as classical influences. He utilized instruments such as piano, electric piano and Minimoog to create innovative fusion sounds. His dedication to touring, recording and collaborating with numerous musicians earned him recognition with 25 Emmys. Tragically passing away from cancer on February

What would ultimately became a powerhouse fusion quintet actually began as a potent electric trio. Demonstrating an ear for remarkable young talent, Chick Corea - the venerated 27-time Grammy winner and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master - recruited newcomers Dave Weckl on drums and John Patitucci on electric bass, for his new project.

From their first rehearsal together, it was instant chemistry.  The newly christened Elektric Band premiered as a trio on April 19, 1985 at Elario’s in La Jolla, California.  The following day, they performed at the Queen Mary Jazz Festival in Long Beach, California. Miles Davis, who was also on the bill that day with his own dynamic electric band witnessed the Elektric Band’s set and reportedly said to Corea backstage, “Sounds like eight guys!”

By the time it came to go into the studio to document the group later that year, Corea had recruited two guitar players to add to the sound, the great Scott Henderson and the seasoned session player Carlos Rios.

Originally released on GRP Records in early 1986, at the height of the hi-tech storm, the album features Corea using the highest caliber state-of-the-art digital keyboards and gear.  That equipment is put to the test on stand out tracks like “Rumble,” a dynamic duet between Weckl and Corea, the mondo synth showcase “No Zone,” the atmospheric “India Town,” the poignant gem “All Love,” and the number that would become an instant classic and live concert staple, “Got A Match.”

Produced by Corea, with longtime engineering partner Bernie Kirsch, the album features detailed liner notes by jazz writer Bill Milkowski, giving context and explicit technical notes to the listening experience.
