Legendary pianist Chick Corea remains a towering figure in the world of jazz music, first as a keyboard player for Miles Davis during the trumpeter`s groundbreaking BITCHES BREW era in the late-`60s, and then as co-founder (with bassist Stanley Clarke) of the seminal jazz-fusion band Return to Forever. This concert film captures the jazz icon performing at the 2004 Montreux Jazz Festival with the Chick Corea Elektric Band, which features Corea on keyboards, John Patitucci on bass, Frank Gambale on guitar, Dave Weckl on drums, and Eddie Marienthal on saxophone. Corea`s rhythmic style and uniquely inventive approach to improvisation are on full display in the electrifying two-and-a-half-hour performance, which features live renditions of his 2004 album, TO THE STARS, as well as a selection of older classics such as
Eternal Child,
Spain,
and
Blue Miles.
