Description:

For The Elektric Bandâ??s sophomore outing, Chick Corea - the venerated 27-time Grammy winner and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master - entered the studio with Dave Weckl on drums, John Patitucci on bass, and two new players who would solidify the bandâ??s classic line up, guitarist Frank Gambale and saxophonist Eric Marienthal. More heavily produced than its predecessor, Light Years contains several sequence-driven tracks, Coreaâ??s attempt at reaching out to a wider audience with a brand of music that was tighter, funkier and eminently more communicative than he had recorded on 1986â??s The Chick Corea Elektric Band. The crisp, irrepressibly catchy title track is a prime example of Coreaâ??s more commercial aspirations for the album, with Patitucci laying down a fat, funky groove with some hearty slap bass lines (a distinct flavor of the time), and Marienthalâ??s pungent alto sax strutting over the top. Not only did this groove-oriented track catch on with listeners, it also won a Grammy for Best R&B Instrumental Performance at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards. Originally released on GRP Records in 1987, the album also contains the dreamy contemporary jazz offerings of â??Second Sightâ? and â??The Dragon,â? the sequence-driven â??Time Trackâ?, â??Flamingo,â? featuring Carlos Rios on guitar and, the electrifying, techno tour de force, highly complex closer, â??Kaleidoscope. -
