In 1993 Chick Corea - the venerated 27-time Grammy winner and
National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master - unveiled the second
incarnation of the Elektric Band - With the brand new lineup of guitarist
Mike Miller, bassist Jimmy Earl and drummer Gary Novak, and
saxophonist Eric Marienthtal (the lone holder over from the frst iteration
of the Elektric Band,) Corea, approached this ambitious outing in the
same way he had done everything throughout his career, by pushing the
boundaries of what modern jazz is
With material written with these specifc players in mind, Corea gathered this
group of remarkably fexible musicians into Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles.
Recorded almost entirely live in frst takes, the album is notable for its "less is
more" approach to Corea's particular style of genre bending composition. Though
the focus may have been more on acoustic piano than synths, the same
profciency, spontaneity, impeccable execution and jaw-dropping display of chops
that characterize the fve frst Elektric Band albums applies.
Of special note here is the inclusion of the track "Final Frontier", originally
released exclusively on the Japanese and European editions. This all out burner
is the lone tune on the record featuring Corea on a synthesizer. Written as an
answer to "Got A Match" from 1986's The Chick Corea Elektric Band album, it's an
uptempo showcase for the players to stretch out and the kind of track that
exemplifes the jazz fusion that Corea and his groups came to defne.
