The fastest guns of the
’70s jazz fusion movement have regrouped, and prove they’re still the fastest
of the fast. With 15 Grammys to his name, Chick Corea rattles off runs on the
keyboard, Lenny White rolls across tuned drums like a bullet train and Stanley
Clarke shows off his ferocious dexterity on the bass.
Three original members of the supergroup Return to Forever take it back to basics, reuniting as a trio as they originally started back in the day pre-RTF. Don’t miss this journey of three masters through an evening of electro-acoustic alchemy—from straight ahead swinging jazz to hard-hitting fusion.
Says Corea of the new trio, “Now that we're playing together again, there's a flood of creativity and inspiration that could only come from making music with this group. Stanley, Lenny and I are looking forward to taking it back to the trio setting we had when we were putting the first electric version of RTF together. That week we did at the old Keystone Korner in '73 remains memorable for us and has become a starting point for the new musical explorations we’re planning.”
