…All of the tracks I shared from the 1986 and 1987 releases were heavily rotated on 94Q, with Elektric City ’86 remaining my favorite with the original lineup with Scott Henderson and Carlos Rios on guitars, along with Dave Weckl on Yamaha Drums and John Patitucci on Basses…
…Of course, I originally got into to Chick’s playing in Return To Forever in the late 70s _(namely the song spain)_ but as I got introduced to synths during the 80s, his Elektric Band albums on GRP remain my favorite works of his to date…
…In these albums Chick played many great synths, including some I play myself including the Yamaha SY77/99, TX816 rack, Yamaha KX88, Oberheim, Fairlight, Kurzweil, Yamaha KX-5 “keytar”, Fender Rhodes, Mini Moog…and so on. Simply put, one of the most prolific jazz keyboardists of all time, whose musical inspiration/influence will live forever!
You're welcome. Your enthusiasm for what you do is appreciated by many! Please keep the music playing in the inimitable manner that you do! God Bless.
Wow what a sweeet sound 👍
Love Chick’s Electric Band grooves and compositions. I got to see this band in Washington DC in 1987 at a small venue. Frank Gambale on guitar had just joined them.
At this particular venue, the “ back up” band for Chick was Allan Holdsworth’s band featuring his “ Road Games” and “ Metal Fatigue “ material! WOW what a night of music.... stunning.
Frank really added a whole new dimension with his signature sweep shreds. My favorite performance of Chick Corea is with with Jamie Glasier on guitar in Japan in 1986 'Live Under The Sky' '86. They perform Rumble just as tight as the studio recording, which truly showcases the Elektric Band's musicianship
@@KJCMuzique The king is dead. Long live the king! R.I.P
RIP I love his "MUSIC"
You solved a mystery for me KJC. Cool weasel boogie never knew it was chick
Thank you for sharing your favorite Chick Corea albums from your ever-burgeoning collection, KJC-M!!...🙂🎹🎼🎵🎶
Chixk Corea was indeed a treasure!! As someone said in a recent tribute to him,"it's difficult to imagine a music world without Chick Corea!" God bless him and his dear family! Thanks so much for the energetic music. Such an icon! Thankfully, we have devotees such as you to keep the wonderful music playing! I remember buying "Light Years." Special time in music! Thank you again! Blessings!
Nice comment, thank you
One of the greats in jazz music history. Chick Corea, we want to thank you for your masterpieces from the beginning to end.
Very Nice and enjoyable. Haven't heard some of these songs in years. Man, RIP Chick.
Rest in Peace Senor Armando....you were more than just a 'LEGEND'
Glad to see you back KJC! Thanks for the upload
Al genio que descansa y que sus melodías vivirán por siempre!!!
Thanks for all your music Chick!!!!
👍👍👍
RIP GREAT GENIUS, THANKS MY FIREND FOR POSTING THIS GEM😘
Sure thing!
HAIL CHICK!!! These are my top 3 Chick albums too. May he rest in peace! I love your track picks too. Illusions, No Zone and Time Track are three of my very favorite Chick compositions. Just incredible!
I know, No Zone was the most bizarre, unique, cool, state of the art-sounding track when I first heard it on 94Q in 1986, with Dave Weckl playing those crazy loud Simmons electronic drums, and Chick playing that playing those funky ep chords on the KX88, blew me away then...and still resonates deeply with me today.
@@KJCMuzique you probably know this already, but for other interested parties, the version of No Zone in their Bern Jazz Festival 1986 performance is mind blowing. Just amazing! The full concert is available on CZcams too... (although it's been taken down a time or two over the years!)
@@dark_falz That is another amazing performance, I have several of their live videos in my favorites playlist from over the years, I really enjoy Eric Marienthal and Frank Potenza's contribution to the band from '87 onward. I used to have a tape recorded off of 94Q in '86 where host Russ Davis was doing a special focus on Chick Corea's Elektric Band debut LP, he played all of the cuts I shared here, and had some nice commentary and even a live interview with Chick on the show! But unfortunately, when I went back through all the tapes to capture them for the last 94Q upload I did, I could not find that particular tape. I seem to have lost it along with a few others, perhaps when I moved years ago. I was hoping to share that rare 94Q tape gem as a tribute to Chick, but I made this video instead.
Thank you also for your insightful commentary , explaining the reasons for your selections!! Always good to get those nuggets of info! God bless. Look fwd to the next one!
Nice. RIP to a great one. Was just playing Behind the mask the other day. Revisiting GRP in general a lot lately. Lots of Dave Valentin. Hope all is well your way. - -Carm
Minus a few albums, I have basically the entire 80s GRP discography on CD/LP, definitely the best contemporary jazz label to date!
@@KJCMuzique That's devotion, my friend....not exactly a puny label! 😄
@@gorvo31 not exactly, haha! But like I said, there are few obscure GRP albums I never really looked into, although I have been collecting their catalog for over 30 years now
Brilliant albums from Chick Corea of 1986, 1987, and 1991 left a unique legacy cannot be forgotten.
Nice mix , thanks for this upload
Thanks Kyle for more great tunes. RIP to Chic.
Глубинная книга Владимира Пятибрата о бессмертии и бессмертных. Книга в свободном доступе в интернете. Последнее обновление 30 августа 2003. Кроме главы Семь ключей Радуги. В книге на данный момент нет ее поздних дополнений и обновлений. Автор это писал на форуме Богатырская стезя и объяснял в беседах. Можно будет тоже найти в интернете или спросить.
Thank you 🎵
Great tribute KJ. Haven't heard much of Chick Corea music but after this post I see it is inline with all your other posts, will be exploring it directly. Great stuff!
Just so many beautiful songs, thanks for that!
RIP Chick Corea His performance on Soundscape is on the all time live concert events. It would be nice if that was released to buy
Soundstage not soundscape

The best album, hands down, is Eye of the Beholder. I can never get tired of it.
I would add “your eyes” from light years. Such an underrated and great track.
Beneath The Mask is definitely my favorite of their albums. The production values are just outstanding.
I know, Charged Particle to me is the #1 track off that album, unbelievable musicianship. Love the opening chord progressions he plays on the Yamaha SY99, sounds like something epic about to go down, perfect song for a marathon! Also, the gated reverb on those Yamaha Drums makes them sound enormous
Oye Kyle me gusta mucho Lightyear s i hey ir fiesta time herramientas in Bogotá in 96 Also look this song by Ramsey Lewis my love Will lead you home. RIP grande corea
Charged particles reminds of the players version of crystal
What do you think about "Lifescape" from Beneath The Mask?
