@@herlambangtanosefren2350 l know, it's just a joke. Their playing is flawless and their chemistry is amazing almost like a single consciousness. Dave Weckl is my favorite drummer of all times.
Today was a sad day. I discovered that Chick had passed away on Tuesday (9th February 2021). I am saddened that a major musician in my life has returned to meet the Creator. He will never be forgotten.
Man it’s easy to forget how good these guys were/are. Everyone of them is a virtuoso on their instrument. John kills it on electric or stand up every time, Frank has to be one of the most underrated guitarist of all time, and Eric is so often overlooked as a player because he came up in jazz during the 80’s . Chick is a living legend, period. As a drummer, I cannot think of Dave Weckl without a complete sense of amazement overcoming me. I, to this day, remain a die hard Elektric Band fan.
Right there with ya, totally agree Return to Forever had an amazing lineup of masters as well a tribute to Chicks virtuosity thier music lives on forever
I still can’t believe that Chick Corea is gone, almost a year has passed, here he is blazing through a brilliant jam session in t-shirt n jeans with all the youth and energy of a 30 something yet he was 78 yrs old!! He was only 4 months away from his 80th when he passed away! I’m so thankful to have had the privilege to hear his fantastic music throughout the 70s and 80s and his phenomenal genius on all manner of synth keyboards. RIP maestro.
Chick : Great American composer who - at nearly 80 - proves he can still play that thing ; Frank & Dave : These tireless virtuoso players showing us that 60 is the new 30 ; John : The anchor, holding it all down as only he can ; Eric : Laying back, swinging as needed. I've seen this performed on video and live and it has never failed to blow me away... Awesome !!!
I saw these guys play 'Got a Match' live for the first time in 1990 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY my senior year in college with my girlfriend. I'll never forget it.
I saw these amazing gods in the 80's 90s , we all have aged, they have not only more scarier and making me feel even more inferior for my 45 + years of musical study!! Utterly amazing! This was a fucking rehearsal that appears to be back stage BEFORE the show !! Fantastically awesome ! Why hasn't Frank Gambale reached the popularity of all other guitarist not even half his skill ? I must have spent thousands of dollars on my Dave Weckl sticks over the years , im not even close to his skill level of just one of his limbs ! Thank you for posting this, you have been and always will be my electric /non electric MUSE Chick ! Love you from Detroit !! Peace
The patterns used in sweep picking sound pretty limiting and repetitive, to me. I prefer Frank's more traditional playing, esp his comping, check out Coming To Your Senses.
This is absolutely awesome. Chick Corea is a great jazz musician and a powerhouse in the world jazz society! And Frank Gambale is another great fusion jazz guitarist. I’ve known his works since late 80’s !
Gosh, I miss the 80s because the electric jazz from this period was just so fucking awesome. I worshipped these guys They fell off my radar for many years. I find myself today listening to this band a few times a week.
Brilliant chemistry with these masters. Saw the Electric Band twice at Tipitinas in the 80s with my dad & sister. We met Chick during a break they took out the side door while he ate a banana. We even shook his piano hands😎🤙🏼🎹
Chick moved definitely to a latin jazz, the experimental electric jazz days are long gone but when you were a pioneer in that field certain things just stick with your being and will always resurface. Good to see that the vibe hasn't changed, if not it's even better!
It's so sad that master Corea is no longer with us. However, it makes me very happy to know he played his amazing music until the end of his days. Truly an inspiration. Really want my life to be like that, to carry on my music until my strength succumbs under the crushing weight of the oh so powerful entropy. Rest in peace Chick.
This video deserves 100X the views. Anyone who knows the name Chick Corea probably knows "Got a Match" Most people who know the name Chick Corea know that he passed away in 2021, but then subsequently won two more Grammy awards weeks later. His wife gave exceptional posthumous acceptance speeches on Chick's behalf. Got a Match? :-) RIP
The pure joy on JP's face while everything is going on, love his enthusiasm. The jam at the end, that was something... Chick was like "follow me, I know the way..." Love always to Chick one of the most versatile and inspiring people ever.
... and he listens carefully, picks up every little pattern in a second. And he's doing these super-complicated triplet-rolls without a glitch - amazing!
It's taken me a few listens, but I love the way that Corea's improv AROUND the theme, without actually stating it outright, still brings Patitucci and Weckl in perfectly on the last unison statement of it. If I only saw it once, in one performance, it would probably pass me by. But that gives good reason to the proposition that every performance by an improvising musician or band should be preserved. I also love the way that every time I hear this tune, they manage to do something different with it. I also love the way that they gather at "front of stage" for the unison lines in the middle section, in the manner of "Hey, look what we can do...." .... I love the way that they all look happy to be doing this.
After learning Spain and playing that great tune for years I finally feel comfy with that. Now got a match ??? OMG lol love this man and his great playing.
I was at the festival on this day and I can definitely say that was the best performance I’ve ever seen in my life!!! Got a match was played in the last of the setlist, with more faster tempo, and intense phrases...these masters were totally on fire. hope to see this band again in Japan!
YOU GUYS are all capable of pushing your musical instrument to its ultimate limit and beyond.......simply mind blowing. Just standing there having a conversation and making it look too easy! I’m a multi instrumentalist that hopes to be at least 1/4 good as you all. LONG LIVE THE ELECTRIC BAND! Chick- I love my new MODX 61! Light version of your montage. Killer boards!
Chris Godla Agreed. The KX5 May look like a toy, but it’s a totally professional-grade controller. The small keys take a moment to get used to, but the feel and action are very DX7-like, which is legendary IMO.
THE pinnacle! Thank you, Chick, for the incredible body of work you have left to us, and also for the world's best musicians that you mentored and developed. You were a true father to your genre. RIP, Maestro.
Oh, MAN! This is just so fantastic. I'm a rocker. Rock music has produced great songs with lyrics. Great love songs and songs about whatever, politics... But these jazz guys just kill. I love 'em!!!
Even in rehearsal, the Elektric Band still sound absolutely amazing after more than 30 plus years of playing together and it's hard to believe that Chick Corea is almost 80 but he still plays almost exactly the same as he did back in 1987. Unbelievable!!!
It's pure alchemy , these magnificient players are connected between us and it's a real pleasure to see that , the evening show must have been unbelieveable , thanks for this magic ! ThX
It's amazing how much grew over the years. The first time they ever play that song, it was only Chick, John, and Dave. I just love how later on, they brought more instruments to the song! 🔥❤️
Bless you all for this recent jam. I live in HARLEYSVILLE, PA very close to the EMEAPP facility here. I again just want to say thank you to Choc and everyone who supported him live all these years. What a blessing to have you around sir.
R.I.P. to one of the absolute titans in music.
Don't feel too bad... he is with Xenu now.
Anyone in music Chick Corea should be part of their musical education.
It's pretty sad, that he belonged to this crazy sect. If not, may he would be still alive ..

The room isn't big enough for all this talent. Legends, every one of them.
They’ve talked to each other without speaking for like 3 decades now. All of them are amazing musicians that swing for the fences every at bat.
They played together in 2004.

Don't worry among real guitarists Frank Gambale is a living legend
Frank Gambale isn’t underrated 😎
I wouldn't say that Frank is un underrated guitarist. He is highly respected not only as a great player but as an influential teacher.
Now I'm just imagining John Pattitucci doing stand up
RIP Chick, talent from beyond this world.
Chick Corea is almost 80. Yet his playing flows like a teenager.
Same with Herbie Hancock. Saw him live last year. He's 80, looks like he's 50, plays and dances around the stage like he's 30...
@@Dublin_N Thank you for mentioning herbie. Chick is great but Herbie Hanson's music changed Jazz.

Good to see that the vibe hasn't changed, if not it's even better!
I've seen them live some 20 years ago... They blew my mind. And made me want to play jazz. It's nice to see them back together.
RIP the great Chick Corea. Legendary 🙏🏾🙏🏾
May Chick Corea play above earth and continue to bring joy to our souls.... A true Genius
Even John's mistake is just lovely! Thanks for the video master!
When John fails, I said to myself wow he is human too.
It’s not surprising. They’re playing this already breakneck tune about 20% faster!
