Chick Corea + Steve Gadd -- Chinese Butterfly (2-CD set)

Chick Corea + Steve Gadd Band
Chinese Butterfly (2-CDs)

Chick Corea & Steve Gadd: Two musicians with a lifetime of rapport together, circling each others' orbits for decades before deciding to reunite with a bang in 2017 with a fiery new project: Chinese Butterfly

Together they combined forces with four other world class musicians who really are from around the world: Benin, Cuba, Venezuela and the US. Their music is an appetizing fusion that's heavily driven by jazz, rock and funk -- led brilliantly by Chick's "chameleon-like" ability to create within any genre's confines, and Gadd's legendarily flawless playing, of which Chick had this to say:

“Every drummer wants to play like Gadd because he plays perfect. He has brought orchestral and compositional thinking to the drum kit while at the same time having a great imagination and a great ability to swing.”

Featuring six brand-new Chick tunes, plus "Chick's Chums" composed by John McLaughlin, and a phenomenal new take on the Corea classic "Return to Forever."

The great Lionel Loueke is on guitar; sax and flute courtesy of Steve Wilson, Carlitos Del Puerto on bass and Luisito Quintero on percussion. Guest vocals by none other than Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire on "Return to Forever."
